ABSTRACT

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are the second most common metal oxide, owing to their low cost, safety, and ease of preparation. ZnO NPs have been discovered to have unique properties, indicating their potential for usage in a variety of therapies. Because Zinc oxide is one of the nanomaterials that has sparked significant research interest, numerous strategies for producing it have been developed. A special emphasis has been placed on the green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) for two reasons: one is to investigate the benefits of synthesis from natural sources, and the other is to make such products as environmentally friendly as possible. Biosynthesized Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPS) have been effectively shown with Zinc acetate dehydrated working as the precursor and an aqueous extract of rosemary leaves functioning as both reducing and stabilizing agents. The nanoparticles size was measured to be approximately 850 nm and zeta potential technique used to determine the stability and charge of Zinc oxide nanoparticles have shown the efficacy of Green synthesis of Zinc oxide nanoparticles. To conform to green chemistry principles and impart a healthy environment, the synthesis was free of solvents and surfactants.
