I am going to synthesized ZnO nanoparticles. How I will select a plant to have good result for nanoparticles synthesis.
For ZnO most of the citrus fruit plants act as reducing agent meaning you can use lime extract, orange extract.
Aloe vera , hibiscus rosasinensis can also be used.
Check articles that show the amount of biochemical active compounds (such as polyphenols) in parts of some plants.
I would then try the greenery part of a local plant which presents in appreciable quantities around (profitability) or one which some of its parts are considered as an environmental concern. Muhammad Ismail
Most of them are active. As medicinal plants are rich in antioxidant and polyphenols which are responsible for the reduction
Dear very limited literature is available regarding our local plants
You can perform a series of experiment for all your plants. The one which give you rapid color change with silver nitrate will be best
