In this study we synthesized the zinc oxide nano particles in ecofriendly way using plantain flower bract aqueous extract. The plantain flower is a waste material obtained from banana flower. The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential of the plantain flower bract extracts for the synthesis of zinc oxide nano particles and their characterization. The synthesized nano particles were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy and they showed the maximum absorbance peak at 340 nm. SEM analysis was done and they revealed that the particles were spherical in shape. The chemical group association of nano particles was analysed using FTIR studies. Further they can be studied for their antibacterial activity in future.
