Nowadays, nanotechnology is the emerging field of medical research. Nanoparticles are
intermediate structure between micro materials and atomic structures which are responsible to
enhance the physical properties such as surface area, volume ratio caused more attention to many
technological, environmental, and medical challenges. Today, green synthesis of different
nanoparticles (NPs) using plant extract, synthesis using microorganism, and low-temperature
synthesis has been extensively studied. However, less attention has been paid to manganese as a
high performance metal in various applications such as medicine, biomedicine, biosensors, water
treatment and purification, electronics, electrochemistry, photo electronics, catalysis etc.
Manganese (Mn) is a transition metal, existing in oxidation states of ?3 to +7; however, the most
common are +2, +3, +4, +6, and +7. Manganese oxides (Mn-oxides) has wealthy structures such
as MnO, Mn5O8, Mn2O3, MnO2, and Mn3O4, and can be used in a variety of fields. Mn-oxide
NPs potentially hold great promise for sustainable nanotechnology. This review attempts very
recent research findings to summarize the data for green synthesis, applications and future
perspective of Mn NPs. Also, various applications of the green synthesized Mn NPs have been
reviewed.
