Current trends in the green syntheses of tin oxide nanoparticles and their biomedical applications

Abstract

Metal oxide nanoparticles had found a variety of applications in numerous fields of industrial, medical, and environmental technologies, attributable to recent advances nanotechnology field. Tin oxide nanoparticles (SnO _2 NPs) have gained importance as metal oxide nanoparticles due to their potential in various fields, particularly nanomedicine and other biomedicine fields. Tin oxide nanoparticles can be made using a variety of biological, chemical, and physical methods. Physicochemical methods are costly, emit high levels of toxic chemicals into the atmosphere, and consume a lot of energy. On the other hand, the biological approach is an environmentally safe, cost-effective, dependable, convenient, and easy way to synthesize tin oxide nanoparticles. In this review, the bio-mediated synthesis, as well as various biomedical applications of tin oxide nanoparticles, were discussed.
