ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized by using an aqueous extract of Melia azedarach seed are reported in this paper. The structural, morphological, compositional, and optical properties of the NPs were evaluated. A hexagonal phase with spherical morphology and an average crystallite size of 57.74 nm...
