AB  - The characterizations of synthesized CdZnS nanoparticles with Clitoria ternatea (Asian 
pigeon wings) leaf extract were done by the chemical precipitation method. The formation 
of CdZnS nanoparticles with the extract was confirmed by making use of XRD, SEM 
analysis and EDAX. XRD disclosed the structure and also the particle size. SEM 
investigation of CdZnS NPs confirmed shape and size. The optical studies were executed 
for the prepared sample. From the obtained UV-visible spectrum, band gap energy was 
determined using the Tauc plot. The photocatalytic activity of the processed sample was 
also analysed.
