Cucurbita seed like zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle is synthesised via chemical reflux method. The phase, size and structure of ZnO elucidates by X-ray diffraction method. Infrared spectrum is revealed its functional groups which are present in the synthesised nanoparticles. The cucurbita seed like morphology of prepared zinc oxide nanoparticles were examined by SEM analysis. Optical absorption property and bandgap of synthesized ZnO nanoparticles are investigated. The electrochemical activity of Cucurbita seed like ZnO nanoparticles measurement carry out through electrochemical impedance analysis, galvanostatic charge discharge and cyclic voltammetry results
