The size range of nanomaterials spans from one nanometer to one hundred nanometers. Nanomaterials synthesized from metal oxides using phytochemical extracts from plants are currently quite popular owing to their wide range of potential uses. The researcher in this study so concentrated on producing ZnO nanoparticles by solution-burning a water-based extract from the Croton macrostachyus plant. Flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic compounds are some of the secondary metabolites of Croton macrostachyus that may help with the phyto-mediated synthesis of nanoparticles by reducing their size, stabilizing them, and sealing them. In order to create ZnO nanoparticles, this research utilized the precursor Zn (CH3COO)2.3H2O. The synthesized samples were characterized using a variety of imaging techniques, including powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, ultraviolet, visible, and diffuse reflectance, X-ray photoelectron, imaging electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray, and a high-resolution imaging electron microscope. Although DDPH and ZnO nanoparticles exhibited lower scavenging activity than ascorbic acid at low concentrations, this improved with increasing sample concentration. The optical band gap energy of ZnO nanoparticles was 3.20 eV.
