“…The washed precipitates were then oven-dried and finally calcined at 170 • C for 3 h. Tang et al [82] synthesised ZnO NPs using Scutellaria baicalensis plant extracts. The method involved adding 100 mL of 0.1 M Zn(CH 3 COO) 2 •2H 2 O to 20 mL of S. baicalensis extract and maintaining the mixture at a pH of 11 with continuous stirring at 80 • C for 3 h. Some of the Lamiaceae-mediated synthesis of ZnO NPs can even be performed at RT, as demonstrated by Lučić et al [26], who synthesised ZnO NPs at RT using 115 mL of Zn(CH 3 COO) 2 •2H 2 O and 50 mL of Ocimum basilicum extract. There was no change in colour; however, a white precipitate of ZnO NPs was observed.…”

“…However, recent research has been focused on green synthesis methods that eliminate the use of hazardous chemicals and reduce energy consumption. This is due to the fact that conventional synthesis methods utilise hazardous chemicals and require high energy input [26]. Biological synthesis is a green synthesis approach that utilises plants, bacteria, fungi, or algae for the preparation of NPs and is a safer and cheaper option than the conventional physical and chemical methods [27].…”

The green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using plant extracts has been receiving tremendous attention as an alternative to conventional physical and chemical methods. The Lamiaceae plant family is one of the largest herbal families in the world and is famous for its aromatic and polyphenolic biomolecules that can be utilised as reducing and stabilising agents during the synthesis of ZnO NPs. This review will go over the synthesis and how synthesis parameters affect the Lamiaceae-derived ZnO NPs. The Lamiaceae-mediated ZnO NPs have been utilised in a variety of applications, including photocatalysis, antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, solar cells, and so on. Owing to their optical properties, ZnO NPs have emerged as potential catalysts for the photodegradation of organic dyes from wastewater. Furthermore, the low toxicity, biocompatibility, and antibacterial activity of ZnO against various bacteria have led to the application of ZnO NPs as antibacterial agents. Thus, this review will focus on the application of Lamiaceae-mediated ZnO NPs for the photodegradation of organic dyes and antibacterial applications.

“…However, recent research has primarily focused on biosynthesis methods, aiming to eliminate the use of hazardous substances and reduce energy consumption. This shift in focus is a response to the reliance of conventional synthesis methods on hazardous chemicals and significant energy input [5]. Moreover, plants, algae, fungi, and bacteria have been successfully utilized for the synthesis of ZnO-NPs, with plants showing promising results [6,7].…”

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) have been extensively researched for their potential applications in various fields such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, biotechnology, sensing, photocatalysis, and photovoltaics due to their unique nanoscale properties. However, the conventional methods for producing ZnO NPs require the use of hazardous chemicals and high energy consumption, which imposes certain limitations. In contrast, the green synthesis of ZnO-NPs using plant extracts, especially Origanum majorana, has gained much attention as a promising alternative approach. Plant extracts contain phytochemicals that are biologically safe and non-toxic, making them a preferred choice. In addition, the ZnO-NPs synthesized with O. majorana extracts exhibit higher stability and can be customized in terms of shape and size, unlike the ZnO-NPs obtained by bacterial or fungal methods. The aqueous leaf extract of O. majorana contains flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic derivatives, which serve as reducing and capping agents for the biosynthesis of ZnO-NPs. These extracts also contain functional groups such as -OH and -C=O, which further enhance the physicochemical properties of the resulting ZnO-NPs and influence their ability to target specific molecules. The plant-mediated synthesis of ZnO-NPs using O. majorana leaf extract is not only fast and straightforward but also offers a wide range of functionalized nanoparticles with specific morphologies and sizes. These ZnO-NPs prepared with O. majorana have been shown to have potential applications in various fields, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities. This review focuses specifically on the antimicrobial applications of ZnO-NPs synthesized using O. majorana leaf extract.
