The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were characterized, and the investigation bridged the gap among physical, morphological, and optical properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated the successful formation of a hexagonal wurtzite ZnO structure with an average crystallite size of 39.89 nm, representing high crystallinity and phase purity. The band gap energy was approximately 3.79 eV. UV-Visible results represented a strong optical absorption peak at 327 nm, proving the optical quality of the particles and exhibiting strong electronic transitions. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) results indicated the progression of rough agglomerated clusters into quasi-spherical well-dispersed particles through the growth process, while high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images revealed uniformly sized particles of around 37 nm with a d-spacing of 2.60 Å between lattice fringes for further characterization. Meanwhile, the selected area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern obtained showed rings for polycrystalline ZnO representing the (100), (101), (102), (104), and (004) planes of the structure. Overall, the green-mediated synthesis approach resulted in high-purity and nanocrystalline ZnO particles with excellent structural and optical properties. The fabricated nanoparticles exhibit high potential for photocatalytic application, optoelectronic use, and UV-protective coatings; thus, efficiency suggests that a sustainable approach to fabrication allows for functionally efficient nanomaterials.
