Green synthesis methods for magnesium oxide nanoparticles are gaining attention for their environmentally friendly and non-toxic properties. However, challenges exist due to biological extracts creating barriers during synthesis. This review summarizes various biological substrates and methodologies for green synthesis of MgO nanoparticles, exploring their impact on properties and mechanisms.
Green synthesis approaches are gaining the attention of researchers and they follow a less hazardous process to obtain nanoparticles. Green synthetic methods are currently used in industry than other physicochemical methods. The magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles have been effectively produced by green synthesis which is environmental friendly, non-toxic with greater stability and has broad range of opportunities for the production of this material in the nanoscale. But still some challenges have been raised for the production of same nanoparticles with huge amount by green synthesis approaches. This is because the biological extracts during the synthesis creates a barrier onto the elucidation of the reactions and their mechanisms. Therefore, this review deals the summing up of variety of biological substrates and different methodologies that can be utilized for the green synthesis of magnesium oxide nanoparticles with impact on their properties. This article also explains the mechanism routes reported in various literatures for better understanding. The energy and environmental applications of the MgO nanoparticles are also dealt with in this article.
