The Zinc oxide nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using Zinc nitrate as the precursor and extract of Illicium verum was used as the reducing and stabilizing agent. Synthesized Zinc oxide particles in nano size were characterizedby FT-IR, Ultraviolet-visible SEM & XRD techniques. The formed nanoparticles were confirmed as zinc oxide nanoparticles by UV- Visible, FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. XRD data gave the results regarding structure and size of the prepared nano-sized particles. According to the results of XRD, the size was calculated as 27.01 nm. SEM analysis results sphere and flake like shape and morphology of Zinc oxide nanoparticles.
