An eco-friendly green mediated synthesis of inorganic nano particle is a fast and growing needed research in the area of nano technology. This study reports the synthesis of Zinc oxide nano particle( ZnO np) using bio-solvent without the use of toxic chemicals. Optimization of synthesis condition for ZnO np via. Green route is carried out by modifying of bio solvent concentration. As synthesized ZnO np was analysed using X ray diffraction(XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-Visible spectroscopy. XRD confirmed hexagonal wurtzite structure and a reduction in the particle size of ZnO was observed for higher concentration of Bio-solvent. Enhancement of light absorption was observed for higher concentration of Bio-solvent.
