Abstract

In recent times, green synthesis and sustainability nanotechnology fields have accompanied an excellent human civilization. Scientific researchers work to produce different metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs), which are used in many quantum device (QD) applications such as QD lasers and QD diodes. In addition, quantum nanoparticles (NPs) can be used as biological probes, which are related to its fluorescent properties. Metal ion reduction is an important benefit of plant usage in green synthesis for MONPs. More benefits of extracted plants in producing NPs are that they are ecofriendly, scalable, nontoxic, and more stable. NPs produced though green synthesis have many applications in the nanotechnology field that are produced by chemical synthesis (i.e., by physical and chemical mechanisms). Extracted plants show the ability to absorb and emit light. In addition, the NPs produced are controlled by an effective technique to obtain the necessary size and shape to used for the relevant application. On the other hand, many organic components have been found in the extracted plants, such as phytochemicals (flavonoids, phenols, and other components), these components vary from one plant to another, and they play an effective role in NP production. Moreover, these identified components act as both capping (stabilizing) and reduction agents on the inorganic metal ions, and also work as oxidation and reduction agents on the inorganic metal ions. Green synthesis can be performed through many different methodologies to obtain NPs. The bandgap of MONPs produced through green synthesis is clearly wide. On the other hand, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) have an importance, as their featured properties and chracterizatics they are beneficial in various scientific objectives. All in all, green synthesis is inexpensive, nontoxic to the environment, and simple in preparation. It is related to the characteristics and properties of the extracted plant in the production of NPs. It is confirmed to be more applicable for the green sustainability nanotechnology field applications for human civilization.
