Nanotechnology is an emerging outlet of the nanoscience in which the atoms are encompassed in nanoscale
dimensions and come to be more receptive compared with their distinctive counterparts. Recently, the utilization of
synthetic designs and physicochemical approaches have received special attention; nevertheless, the generation of noxious
impressions on the eco-system have raised serious concerns of the scientific community worldwide. Presently, environmentfriendly green synthesis routes are promising venues for the arrangement of metal/metal oxide (M/MO) nanostructured
materials by using plants and their corresponding alliances. This revolution is predominantly recompensing as far as the
reduction of toxic emissions and wastes is concerned. Accordingly, materials scientists have adopted various renewable
naturally occurring eco-friendly materials, and biogenic processes to fabricate the functional M/MO nanostructured
materials. The current review article recapitulates and assimilates the present state of knowledge on different strategies for
biogenic fabrication of M/MO nanostructured materials. Moreover, their diverse applications are summarized and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
