Abstract
Metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) are a substantial category of nanomaterials that have numerous implications in science and technology owing to their distinctive characteristics such as high surface-to-volume ratio, large surface area, and abundance on earth. The present book chapter attempts to present a brief summary of research on MONPs, including available synthesis routes, techniques for characterization, and some of the unique nanoscale physicochemical features. Further, we provided an overview of the defining specific applications of MONPs in a variety of applied nanotechnology domains. We anticipate that this chapter will contribute to an increase in understanding and the recent developments in the utilizations of MONPs in specific industrial sectors.
