Zinc oxide is of significant importance for many industries due to its versatile properties,
which have been enhanced with the production of this material in the nanoscale.
Nonetheless, the increase in concerns related to environmental impact has led to the
development of eco-friendly processes for its production. Recent interest in obtaining metal
and metal oxide nanoparticles using biological approaches has been reported in the
literature. This method was termed 'green synthesis' as it is a less hazardous process than …
