Biosynthesis of Zirconium Oxide Nanoparticles from Different Plant Extracts: A Review
In this review article, we summarized the green synthesis method for metal nanoparticles, and ecological friendly methods for fabricating metal oxide NPs, because of their great biodegradable, electrical, mechanical, and optical qualities. Zirconium oxide has piqued the interest of researchers throughout the world, particularly since the development of methods for the manufacture of Nano-sized particles. An extensive study into the creation of nanoparticles utilizing various synthetic techniques and their potential uses has been stimulated by their high luminous efficiency. Zirconium dioxide nanoparticles may be used as antimicrobial and anticancer agents in food packaging; developed methods for synthesizing nanoparticles, with various morphologies have recently been created using biological (green chemistry) methods. Different natural Photo constituents exist in plant extracts such as polysaccharides, proteins, polyphenols, enzymes, vitamins, and steroids are responsible for the formation and stabilization of zirconium dioxide nanoparticles. Zirconium nanoparticles are receiving diverse biomedical applications because of their distinctive antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, antifungal, It is possible to analyze the nanoparticles produced using a variety of analytical approaches, including ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
