ZnO nanoparticles, like most nanoparticles, are prone to significant agglomeration, including hard agglomeration among the particles caused by the chemical interaction of the surface groups and soft agglomeration generated by a variety of physical processes. Green synthesis opens new opportunities for creating nanoparticles utilising plants. In the present study, we attempted to synthesize ZnO nanoparticles via precipitation using different ratios of leaf extract of Acorus Calamus to ZnO solution. Since Acorus Calamus has a potential as a capping agent for ZnO nanoparticles synthetization. Study shows that Acorus Calamus can reduce the agglomeration of nanoparticles that happens because the rapid growth thus reduces the size of nanoparticles so the absorbance can be increased. Thus, it can be deduced that the plant based green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles with Acorus Calamus has significant potential for application in the mass production of ZnO in the economic sectors such as wastewater treatment, biomedicine, medicine, food, electronics, cosmetics, textiles, agriculture, health, the car industry, and construction.
