Abstract-– Study introduces a web-based platform for the eco-friendly synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles using Evolvulus alsinoides plant extracts, adhering to the principles of green chemistry. The application automates and streamlines the synthesis process, improving efficiency, precision, and environmental sustainability. It incorporates essential functionalities such as resource management, material integration, additive incorporation, and quality assessment, all regulated through advanced algorithms and analytical techniques. Machine learning models, including the Lasso Regressor, are employed to optimize synthesis parameters and evaluate nanoparticle purity, ensuring adherence to high-quality standards. By reducing reliance on hazardous chemicals and utilizing natural, renewable resources, the project minimizes its environmental impact. The platform offers a transparent and systematic workflow, from initial material input to final quality verification, serving as a valuable resource for researchers and industry professionals. The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles, renowned for their photocatalytic and antimicrobial properties, find applications in air and water purification systems, medical devices, antimicrobial coatings, and the cosmetics sector, particularly in sunscreens and skincare products due to their UV-blocking capabilities. This project marks a significant step forward in nanoparticle synthesis, merging sustainable practices with advanced technology to foster innovation and environmental stewardship in scientific research.
