KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
Zinc oxide nanostructures are interesting nanomaterials with a wide range of applications. Since the physical and
chemical properties of ZnO nanoparticles are influenced both by their shape and size, a control of morphology
of ZnO structures is needed for their commercial usage. Different chemical, physical, and biological methods used
to produce ZnO nanostructures can be found in the literature. The production of ZnO nanoparticles using so-called
green methods, using, for example, plant extracts or living organisms, is being investigated as these methods
are environmentally friendly and of low-cost. This review also discusses the trends in the biological synthesis of
semiconducting nanoparticles.
