Synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles was carried out using a green synthesis method that utilizes plants as bioreductors. Secondary metabolites contained in plants can act as bioreductors in the metal oxide reduction process and capping agents in the production of ZnO nanoparticles. In this study, the characterization of ZnO nanoparticles was carried out using duwet (Syzygium cumini) leaf extract. The Synthesis was carried out by varying the composition of zinc acetate dihydrate solution and duvet leaf extract in the 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 ratios, as well as pH 7, 8, 9, and 10. The resulting ZnO nanoparticles were then characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometry to determine the optimal conditions, a Particle Size Analyzer (PSA) to determine the particle size and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to determine the purity of the resulting nanoparticles by looking at the 2θ peak formed. Optimal conditions for synthesizing ZnO nanoparticles were obtained with a maximum wavelength (λmax) of 369 nm at a ratio of 1:2 and pH 8. The particle size distribution analysis results from PSA showed an average size of 19.52 nm, with a Poly Dispersity Index (PDI) value of 0.2491. The results of the analysis using XRD showed that the synthesized nanoparticles showed typical peaks for ZnO with 2θ values of 31.7680º, 34.3699º, and 36.2281º, which indicated that the Synthesis of nanoparticles had successfully produced pure ZnO nanoparticles.
