“…In this sense, green synthesis has become a beneficial alternative to the production of nanomaterials using supplies such as plants, seeds, roots, peels extracts, fungi, algae or bacteria [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] as reduction reagents and stabilization of transition metal salts into metal and metal oxide nanoparticles. ZnO NPs have been successfully attained within the green chemistry approach with potential applications for industrial wastewater treatment [31,32,[35][36][37][38] biological control of plant diseases and plant growth promoter [29,39], anti-cancer drug or as antiangiogenic agent [27,28,33]; and also demonstrating a good biocompatibility, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antifungal activity [12,13,29,30]. The photocatalytic performance of ZnO NPs for degradation of malachite green (MG), methylene blue (MB), rhodamine B dyes and dibenzothiophene contaminant (DBT) has been positively tested [14,18,31,32,35].…”
