In this research work, the synthesis of zinc nanoparticles was carried out using adhatoda vasica’s leaf extract. Adhatoda vasica is a highly effective medicinal plant possessing values in curing number of health issues. It’s a very good ayurvedic therapeutic plant which is very well popular in India because of its efficiency in treating many diseases such as arthritis, bleeding disorders, allergic conditions, respiratory issues, dyspnea, bronchitis, tuberculosis etc.,. We have used its leaf as a reducing agent in the preparation of zinc nanoparticles. The care was given such that synthesis was performed under control conditions and optimized. Thus produced zinc nanoparticles from zinc nitrate were characterized using the optical spectroscopic techniques UV-Visible and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic methods. The structure of nanoparticle was observed with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
