Graphycal Abstract:
 The present work explored the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using rice husk waste. The characterisation by UV-Vis spectroscopy suggested the formation of ZnO.
Analysis of X-Ray diffraction analysis (XRD) confirms the purity of the NPs with a crystallite size of less than 21 nm.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy reveals the significance functional group at 487 cm-1.
