Antibacterial activity; Green nanoparticles; Zinc oxide nanoparticles

Definition

Green synthesis method plays a tremendous role in preparing nanoparticles without affecting the environment, which includes the usage of leaves, flowers, peel, seeds, roots, barks, and microorganisms.

Introduction

The scientific and engineering field have gained many researches based on nanotechnology and nanoscience. Emerging development in nanotechnology on recent studies is based on synthesis method. Nanomaterials synthesized using green technologies are an eco-friendly process and acquire more attention due to their unique properties. This green approach which uses the plant extract or microorganism is an alternative tool against usual chemical methods. Metal oxide nanoparticles were used widely in chemistry, material science, physics, biotechnology, and environmental science due to its tremendous chemical, optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. These nanoparticles have high chemical...
