In this paper, we discussed biosynthesized and characterization of zinc sulphide nanoparticles using tridaxprocumbens leaf extract by green synthesis method. This study focuses on the production of ZnS nanoparticles using tridaxprocumbens plant of methanol leaf extracts and analysis the antimicrobial activity. The formation of zinc sulphide nanoparticleswas characterized by using numerous analytical techniques such as Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). The results showed that the leaf extract for the synthesis zinc sulphide nanoparticles to have the ability to inhibit the growth of various pathogenic microorganisms. The synthesized zinc sulphide nanoparticles can be used for various applications due to its ecofriendly, non-toxic and compatibility for pharmaceutical and other applications.
