Abstract

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) exhibit distinctive characteristics, making them highly sought-after in many sectors. Nevertheless, conventional techniques for producing ZnO-NPs are linked to environmental and health hazards due to toxic substances. In this review, we study zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) synthesized from plant extracts and their subsequent biomedical uses in detail. Research shows that several different plant extracts are employed in manufacturing ZnO nanoparticles. Leaves, fruits, seeds, roots, and complete plants are all included in these extracts. Phytochemicals such as phenolic compounds, alkaloids, flavonoids, and terpenoids are all a part of these biological matrices. compounds…
