Summary: | Metal oxide nanoparticles had found a variety of applications in numerous fields of industrial, medical, and environmental technologies, attributable to recent advances nanotechnology field. Tin oxide nanoparticles (SnO2 NPs) have gained importance as metal oxide nanoparticles due to their potential in various fields, particularly nanomedicine and other biomedicine fields. Tin oxide nanoparticles can be made using a variety of biological, chemical, and physical methods. Physicochemical methods are costly, emit high levels of toxic chemicals into the atmosphere, and consume a lot of energy. On the other hand, the biological approach is an environmentally safe, cost-effective, dependable, convenient, and easy way to synthesize tin oxide nanoparticles. In this review, the bio-mediated synthesis, as well as various biomedical applications of tin oxide nanoparticles, were discussed. |
