ABSTRACT

The use of nanoparticles has been a trend constantly evolving and finding its use in a vast range of scientific and technological domains such as agriculture, industry, health, medicine etc. Magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles have the unique properties such as their high surface area, thermal stability, and non-toxic nature, making them suitable for diverse applications including catalysis, environmental remediation, and biomedical uses. For long, synthesis of these NPs was achieved through synthetic means which came with their share of disadvantages. Synthesis of these nanoparticles from plant sources is a great alternative to have with properties like bio-compatibility, biodegradability, minimal or no side effects and equally effective results. This article reports the different approaches to the synthesis of MgO nanoparticles from means that are sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives, their properties, applications and future prospects.
