Abstract
Nanoscale materials exhibit unique and significantly superior properties over the bulk materials due to their diameter, size, molecular alignment, and surface characteristics. Hence, they are tremendously used in many applications like skincare and consumer products, electronics, optoelectronics , photonics, biotechnology, biomedical engineering and technology, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, environment, composites, coatings, catalysts, etc.
