Abstract

The green synthesis of nanoparticles has gained considerable attention in recent years as an eco-friendly and sustainable approach to nanomaterial production. In this study, we present a novel method for the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using Parthenium hysterophorus leaf extract. The eco-friendly synthesis process not only reduces the environmental footprint but also harnesses the phytochemical potential of Parthenium hysterophorus. The synthesized ZnO NPs were characterized and evaluated for their antibacterial properties. Our findings reveal the promising antimicrobial potential of these green-synthesized ZnO NPs, highlighting their potential application in combating bacterial infections.
