In this work we report a facile synthesis method for preparation of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) using Moringa oleifera leaf extract at relatively low temperature. We have synthesized highly crystalline ZnO NPs of average size 45±6 nm through a very simplistic technique. Any extra chemicals and high temperature has not been employed to formulate the synthesis process a cost effective and energy efficient in a sustainable and eco-friendly way. Various basic and comprehensive characterization techniques like X-ray diffraction study, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, optical absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy has been used for structural and optical studies of the synthesized samples. The large scale production and medical application of the prepared sample can be feasible as it is produced via green synthesis approach following the principle of green chemistry.
