A Comprehensive Review of Synthesis, Properties and Applications of TiO2 and ZnO Nanoparticles

Abstract

Nanotechnology is an advancing field of science with the potential to improve the quality of life through its applications in the field of nanomedicine. It refers to the technology of precisely manipulating atoms and molecules and developing new materials with nanoscale dimensions. Nanoparticles (NPs) typically range in size from 1-100 nm. Nanoparticles play a major role in the prevention of infections, so they can be utilised as nanocarriers with antimicrobial therapeutic actions. This article is a literature review on different methods of synthesis, properties, and biomedical applications of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles. Since nanoparticles can be biomodified by cost-effective methods, the use and applications of NPs will increase in the future. The unique properties of nanoparticles make them useful in various fields of science such as materials, engineering, electronics, food science, and biomedicine. Due to their advantages, nanotechnology has gained the attention of researchers, especially for its promising applications in the healthcare system for better diagnosis and treatment.
