In recent years for synthesis of metal nanoparticles researchers give attention to develop efficient green chemistry method. In this article cost effective and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using leaf extract of guava plant. Reduction of metal ions through leaf extracts leading to the formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles. The size, structure, morphology and electrochemical behavior of synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy, FTIR, X-ray diffraction, SEM-EDS, and Cyclic voltammetry.
