Research paper on metal oxide nanoparticles

Nanoparticles cover a heterogeneous range of materials ( Santos et al., 2015 ), but only a few of them are extensively used and at present, the environment is at risk to be exposed to them. Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), silver, zinc oxide, cerium dioxide, copper, copper oxide, aluminum]

This review examines the research performed in the last decade to show how metal and metal oxide nanoparticles are influencing the plant metabolism. We addressed here, the impact of nanoparticle on plant in relation to its size, concentration, and exposure methodology.

Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have received substantial research attention due to their exceptional electrical, optical, magnetic and catalytic properties. These have enabled their broad use in diverse industrial, medical, agricultural and environmental applications, with further uses constantly under development [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ].

Green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using different plant extracts and their antibacterial activity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae The synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles with the use of plant extract is a promising alternative to the conventional chemical method.
