Initial analyses demonstrated excellent crystallinity of the particles with a hexagonal structure, confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Subsequent tests revealed promising performances in terms of photocatalytic and antioxidant activity of the synthesized nanoparticles. Thus, water mint extract offers an economical and eco-friendly synthesis method for ZnO nanoparticles.frThesis
