Abstract Metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted significant research interest due to their wide range of potential applications in medicine, electronics, biotechnology, kinetics, spintronics, sensors, catalysis, pigment, adsorption, optical devices, DNA labeling, drug delivery, and piezoelectricity. NPs are especially attractive for their use as catalysts, as they can be used to promote chemical reactions without the need for toxic solvents or harsh conditions. NPs are often non-toxic and biodegradable, making them a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional catalysts. One promising method for synthesizing metal oxide NPs is through a biogenic process, which uses living organisms to produce the NPs. This method has several advantages over traditional methods, including the fact that it is environmentally friendly, scalable, and can produce high-quality NPs. Biogenic synthesis of metal oxide NPs has been used to produce NPs for a variety of applications, including the treatment of cancer and the catalysis of organic reactions.

Introduction
Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field of research with the potential to revolutionize many industries. Nanomaterials are materials that have at least one dimension in the nanometer range (1-100 nanometers) (Roduner, 2006). Nanomaterials have unique properties that make them ideal for a variety of applications, including catalysis (Somwanshi, Somvanshi, & Kharat, 2020), sensing (Munawar, Ong, Schirhagl, Tahir, Khan, & Bajwa, 2019), drug delivery (P.couvreur, 2013), and biotechnology. There are two main approaches to synthesizing nanomaterials: top-down and bottom-up. Top-down methods involve breaking down a bulk material into smaller pieces, while bottom-up methods involve building up nanomaterials from individual atoms or molecules. Top-down methods are generally less expensive and easier to scale up than bottom-up methods, but they can produce nanomaterials with less desirable properties. Bottom-up methods are more expensive and difficult to scale up, but they can produce nanomaterials with superior properties. The main factor that determines the properties of a nanoparticle is its size. Nanoparticles with smaller sizes have larger surface areas, which can lead to enhanced reactivity and solubility (Englebienne & Hoonacker, 2005). Nanoparticles can be synthesized using a variety of methods including: physical, chemical, and biological methods. Physical methods involve using high-energy processes, such as laser ablation or electron beam irradiation, to break down a bulk material into smaller pieces. Chemical methods involve using chemical reactions to reduce metal salts to form nanoparticles. Biological methods involve using living organisms, such as bacteria or plants, to produce nanoparticles. The choice of synthesis method depends on the desired properties of the nanoparticles and the specific application. Physical methods are often used to produce nanoparticles with high purity and narrow size distributions (Rajput, 2015). Chemical methods are often used to produce nanoparticles with specific shapes and functional groups. Biological methods are often used to produce nanoparticles with high biocompatibility (Gudikandula & Maringanti, 2016). Nanoparticles have the potential to revolutionize many industries, but they also pose some potential risks. Nanoparticles can be toxic to living organisms, and they can also be harmful to the environment. It is important to carefully consider the risks and benefits of using nanoparticles before using them in any application. The green synthesis of metal nanoparticles is a promising new approach to producing nanoparticles that are environmentally friendly and safe for human use (Parveen, Banse, & Ledwani, 2016). Green synthesis methods use environmentally benign solvents and non-toxic chemicals, and they often involve the use of living organisms. Green synthesis methods are still in their early stages of development, but they have the potential to revolutionize the field of nanotechnology.
Aim of study To Find Environmentally friendly approaches to synthesis of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles by green Route.
Review of Literature

S Ahmed et al.(2016) Study show That the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Azadirachta indica aqueous leaf extract as a reducing and capping agent is a topic of interest in recent research. The identification of the compounds responsible for silver ion reduction was achieved through FTIR analysis of the functional groups present in the plant extract. Characterization techniques such as DLS, photoluminescence, TEM, and UV-Visible spectrophotometry were utilized to examine the synthesized nanoparticles. The UV-Visible spectrophotometer revealed absorbance peaks within the range of 436-446 nm. The antibacterial activity of the silver nanoparticles against both gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli) microorganisms was demonstrated. Additionally, photoluminescence studies confirmed the properties of the synthesized nanoparticles. This method offers advantages such as simplicity, rapidity, eco-friendliness, non-toxicity, and serves as an alternative to traditional physical/chemical approaches. Importantly, the conversion of silver ions to nanoparticles occurred within a short timeframe of 15 minutes at room temperature, without the need for hazardous chemicals.

Methodology
Structural characterization techniques used to analyze the size, shape, lattice constants, and crystallinity of nanoparticles (NPs) include X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron microscopy (EM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM), and scanning probe microscopy (SPM). Internal chemical characterization techniques used to identify the internal chemical constituents of NPs include Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). This paper provides an overview of two characterization techniques for both structural and internal chemical characterization of NPs.
Tools Used XRD
The X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique is a convenient analytical method used to identify the crystalline forms of samples. This technique relies on the analysis of the diffraction patterns produced by X-rays interacting with the crystal lattice of a material. The diffraction pattern obtained can be analyzed using the following equation.
2dsinθ=nλ
Where d is interplaner distance, θ is differaction angle, λ is x ray wave length and n is integer.
The X-ray diffractometer operated at 40kV and 30mA, using Cu (Kα) radiation with a wavelength of 1.5416 A°. The range of 2θ values measured was from 20° to 90°, and the Kα doublets were clearly distinguishable. By applying Scherrer's formula (1), the size of the crystallites in the nanoparticles can be determined.
D=kλ/(β cos⁡θ ) ………………………(1)
Where k is constant, λ = 1.5416 A° is x ray wavelength, β is Full width half maxima and θ is half diffraction angle.

EDS
Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS or EDX) is a method of analyzing samples for elemental composition. It involves directing a high-energy beam of electrons, protons, or X-rays onto the sample. By using an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), the emitted X-rays from the specimen can be measured in terms of their energy and quantity. This allows for the determination of the elemental composition of the sample.
SEM
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is a powerful imaging technique used to obtain detailed surface information of solid samples. In SEM, a focused beam of electrons scans the surface of the sample, and the interactions between the electrons and the sample produce various signals that can be detected and analyzed.
The primary electron beam scans back and forth across the sample in a raster pattern. As the beam interacts with the sample, different signals are generated, including secondary electrons, backscattered electrons, and characteristic X-rays. These signals carry information about the topography, composition, and other surface properties of the sample.
Secondary electrons are low-energy electrons emitted from the top few nanometers of the sample's surface. They provide high-resolution imaging of the sample's surface topography, revealing details such as surface morphology, texture, and roughness.
Backscattered electrons are higher-energy electrons that interact with the atomic nuclei of the sample. The intensity of backscattered electrons depends on the atomic number of the elements present in the sample. By detecting and analyzing the backscattered electrons, valuable compositional information about the sample can be obtained.
SEM is a versatile tool widely used in various fields, including materials science, nanotechnology, biology, geology, and forensic science. It provides high-resolution, three-dimensional imaging and valuable compositional information, making it an essential tool for surface characterization and analysis.
FTIR
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) is a technique used to analyze the molecular composition and functional groups present in a sample. It operates by measuring the absorption of infrared radiation by the sample. In FTIR, a beam of infrared light is passed through the sample, and the molecules in the sample absorb specific frequencies of the infrared light, resulting in characteristic absorption peaks in the spectrum. These absorption peaks correspond to the vibrational modes of the molecular bonds, providing information about the types of chemical bonds and functional groups present in the sample.
TEM
Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is a powerful imaging technique that allows for high-resolution visualization of the internal structure and morphology of materials at the nanoscale. In TEM, a beam of electrons is transmitted through an ultra-thin specimen, and the resulting electron-matter interactions generate a magnified image on a fluorescent screen or a digital detector. The high-energy electron beam provides exceptional resolution, enabling the visualization of features as small as atomic dimensions. TEM also offers additional capabilities such as selected area diffraction (SAD) for crystallographic analysis and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) for elemental identification. This technique is widely used in materials science, nanotechnology, biology, and various other scientific disciplines for detailed examination and characterization of nanostructures.
