The application of nano zinc oxide in health-related fields calls for green and environmentally friendly synthetic methods. In this paper, Chlorella vulgaris extract was used to synthesize uniform nano sized zinc oxide particles. The results indicate that Chlorella vulgaris extract can effectively reduce the size of zinc oxide particles. The as synthesized ZnO particles using Chlorella vulgaris extract as additive are about 20-40nm.
