“…The Citrus aurantifolia peel extract has a high content of flavonoids (apigenin, hesperetin, kaempferol, nobiletin, quercetin and rutin), flavones, flavanones, naringenin, triterpenoids, and limonoids [24], which help in the synthesis of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles. Some authors have reported on the use of lemon and leaves extracts to obtain different types of nanoparticles, such as Ag:CdO nanocubes [25], ZnO [26], Ag [27,28], and Au [29]. At present, very few studies on the biosynthesis of SnO 2 nanoparticles have been carried out using plant extracts, for example, aqueous extracts of Papaya leaves [30], American persia [31], Litsea cubeba [32], and Aspalathus linearis [33] have been used for the synthesis of this material with photocatalytic applications.…”
