Abstract
Metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) have attracted considerable interest
due to their distinct characteristics and wide-ranging applications in areas
like Photocatalysis, sensing, and biomedical technologies. This review offers
an in-depth examination of the synthesis techniques, properties, and uses of
MONPs, concentrating on their electronic structure, band gap engineering, and
the factors that affect their performance. Various synthesis methods, such as
sol-gel, co-precipitation, hydrothermal, and green synthesis, are discussed,
with an emphasis on their benefits and drawbacks. The electronic properties of
MONPs, including their band gap, are analyzed thoroughly, highlighting the
significance of understanding the link between electronic structure and material
performance. Factors influencing the band gap, such as particle size, oxidation
state, temperature, and doping, are investigated, providing insights into
strategies for adjusting the properties of MONPs. The review also explores the
applications of MONPs, especially in photocatalysis, gas sensing, and
biomedicine. The potential of MONPs as photocatalysts for environmental cleanup
and energy generation is discussed, along with the challenges and future
opportunities in this field. The use of MONPs in gas sensing applications,
focusing on their sensitivity, selectivity, and stability, is also examined.
Finally, the biomedical applications of MONPs, including drug delivery and
wound healing, are highlighted, addressing concerns about their toxicity and biocompatibility.
This comprehensive review aims to serve as a valuable resource for researchers
and practitioners working with metal oxide nanoparticles, offering insights
into their synthesis, properties, and varied applications.
