Green Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications of Tin Nanoparticles

Nanotechnology has evolved as a popular, central and core part of research and development activities, in the current time of advanced science. Metal & metal oxides have a good amount of contribution in experiments & research. Specifically, from metal oxides, Tin oxide (SnO2) has gained interest among researchers due to its wide range of applications. Research on tin nanoparticles (SnNPs) has helped researchers discover the therapeutic properties of SnNPs in recent years. There are many methods for the synthesis of nanoparticles of different size & shapes. There are generally three methods to synthesize NPs - physical, chemical & biological. In particular, plant mediated green (biological) method uses different parts of plants. Detailed Analysis have been done based on the experiments, revolving around research on Sn and SnO2 NPs, which further helped in discovering various properties of green or biologically synthesized nanoparticles. The green synthesis of SnO2 \ NPs through various media, their characteristics, & ample uses are covered in this review.
