Abstract :
The present study focuses on the green synthesis of zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs) using Solanum robustum extract and investigates their potential antibacterial properties. The green synthesis method offers a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to fabricating nanoparticles, utilizing the reducing and stabilizing capabilities of plant extracts. The extract of Solanum robustum, a medicinal plant known for its bioactive compounds, was employed as a reducing and capping agent to produce ZnNPs. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using various analytical techniques such as UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

Keywords : ZnNPs, Solanum robustum, bioactive compounds, XRD, UV-Vis spectroscopy.
