I would like to synthesise metal nanoparticles(especially zinc) by plant extract. For this, I test some protocol for green synthesis but the size of produced nanoparticles was large and polydispersed. In your opinion, what is the problem?

Dear Mokhtar Nosrati:
Zinc nanoparticles can be obtained only in reverse micelles. look

I doubt that zinc ions are reduced plant extract. Zinc reacts with water. Large specific surface of nanoparticles will contribute to the reaction.
Best regards

Hi,Mukhtar
May be its late,but in my opinion take very dilute sample (m.mol),of plant extract,low temprature may be useful in your case
