Bio Engineered Nano MgO: Applied in Water Treatment & Display Devices

Nowadays green synthesis chemistry which aims at total elimination or minimization of the use and generation of hazardous substances has received more and more attention. A green synthesis strategy usually adopts nontoxic and environmentally benign reactants and solvents and releases no unwanted byproducts and do not cause pollution. MgO a typical wide band gap insulator has a rock salt structure (fcc) (space group-fm-3m-225) with magnesium ions occupying octahedral sites within the anion closed packed structure. In this lattice the point group symmetry of Mg sites in the cubic MgO structure is ideally D2d and Mg site possesses inversion symmetry can be used in catalysis toxic waste remediation additives in refractory paint antibacterial antifungal display and dye degradation.
