Abstract

Environmental pollution has increased as a result of the extensive usage of synthetic materials for nanoparticle manufacturing. Green synthesis, which uses biodegradable materials like the peels of citrus species, has therefore lately become a viable substitute. The current study's objective was to study the use of citrus peels as a natural precursor for the antimicrobial properties, sustainable production, and characterisation of zinc oxide and magnesium oxide nanoparticles.
