Metal-based nanomaterials play a vital role in the progress of solid-state nanomaterial science as they have numerous benefits in various areas of human life from health sciences to nanotechnology. Specially, Zinc-based nanomaterials (Zn-based NMs) drawn the attention worldwide due to their biocompatible, sustainable, and economical nature. Zn-based NMs have been widely used in various sectors viz., biomedical, clinical, semiconductors, photoluminescence, photocatalysis, agriculture, water treatment and many more because of their high surface area, excellent porosity, stability, scaffold morphology, good optical and electrochemical property. Because of this they can emerge as potential material in a variety of potential fields such as optics, biomedicine and environment. Since, many conventional routes have been used to synthesize Zn-based NMs, however, biogenic approaches are widely employed recently. By keeping this scenario in mind, the present chapter focuses on biogenic synthesis of Zn-based NMs with their excellent properties and its utility in biomedical, environmental and agriculture sector.
