A facile, innovative and inexpensive green route has been demonstrated for the formation of ZnO nanoparticles by biogenic method using aqueous leaf extract of Calotropis procera which acts as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The as prepared ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by a host of differen...
