A Brief Review of the Synthesis of ZnO Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications

Abstract

The semiconducting Zinc Oxide (ZnO), particles have excellent biocompatibility, good chemical stability, selectivity, sensitivity, non-toxicity, and fast electron transfer characteristics. Thus, these nanoparticles are receiving increasing attention due to their potential performance in human body. The nanoparticles have become more promising in biomedical applications through the development of anticancer agents to recover different types of malignant cells in the human body. The ZnO nanoparticles can be the future materials for biomedical applications. The purpose of this paper is to review the cost-effective approaches to synthesize the ZnO nanoparticles. Moreover, the ideas developed, may be scaled-up for biomedical applications.
