Abstract

Nanomaterials represent a powerful tool for abording contemporary challenges. Among these materials, nanoflowers stand out due to their surface, magnetic, and electrical properties, making them applicable in various fields of science such as medicine, chemistry, technology, and energy. The essentials of nanoflowers, such as their size, shape, and properties, are directly dependent on their composition and the synthesis method, turning them adaptable to the requirements of each of the mentioned disciplines. This article focuses on reviewing the most recent and relevant scientific research, providing a deeper insight into the characteristics, methods of synthesis, and applications of nanoflowers.
