Environmental contamination is a prime challenge facing society. The natural or artificial
emergence of pollutants in the climate adversely affects water, air, and soil and undoubtedly
causes severe health issues to humans. New techniques are continually explored to
remediate these environmental contaminants. Nanomaterials (NMs) have great application
because of their larger surface area, functionality, and higher rate of reaction. Recently,
green synthesis has emerged as an area that primarily focuses on environmental benefits …
