“…The study of Shabnam et al [164] stated that the absorption of fluoride is achieved up to 65% from waste water using ZnONPs. Furthermore, ZnONPs showed good photocatalytic activity when used for the degradation and treatment of several dyes such as methylene blue, methyl orange, methyl red, congo red, acid Blue 9 and Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 and reactive red dyes [165,166]. In this context, Bhuyan et al [167] indicated that upon addition of ZnONPs as a photocatalyst, the concentration of methylene blue dye decreased by 50% after 30 min.…”

Nanoparticles have gained considerable importance compared to bulk counterparts due to their unique properties. Due to their high surface to volume ratio and high reactivity, metallic and metal-oxide nanostructures have shown great potential applications. Among them, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) have gained tremendous attention attributed to their unique properties such as low toxicity, biocompatibility, simplicity, easy fabrication, and environmental friendly. Remarkably, ZnONPs exhibit optical, physical, antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties. These nanoparticles have been applied in various fields such as in biomedicine, biosensors, electronics, food, cosmetic industries, textile, agriculture and environment. The synthesis of ZnONPs can be performed by chemical, physical and biological methods. Although the chemical and physical methods suffer from some disadvantages such as the involvement of high temperature and pressure conditions, high cost and not environmentally friendly, the green synthesis of ZnONPs offers a promising substitute to these conventional methods. On that account, the microbial mediated synthesis of ZnONPs is clean, eco-friendly, nontoxic and biocompatible method. This paper reviews the microbial synthesis of ZnONPs, parameters used for the optimization process and their physicochemical properties. The potential applications of ZnONPs in biomedical, agricultural and environmental fields as well as their toxic aspects on human beings and animals have been reviewed.
