In this work, we have reported, a cost effective and environment friendly technique for the synthesis of ZnO and CuO nanoparticles using ferulago angulata (schlecht) boiss extract as a mild and non-toxic reducing agent and efficient stabilizer without adding any surfactants. The secondary metabolite...
