Online published on 24 January, 2022. Abstract Nanotechnology is nothing but anything smaller than micro technology. Nanoparticles have been widely used because of their incredible properties such as high heat resistanc and chemical inertness. They are synthesized using different metals and metalloids such as calcium, titanium, silicon, etc. In the recent years there has been increased interest onsynthesis of nanoparticles using organic waste. Sugarcane bagasse is one of the green ways for synthesis of nanoparticles. Various methods can be used to obtained nanocellulose, such as acid hydrolysis, ultrasonic technique and enzymatic hydrolysis etc. This review focuses on the how best we could use sugarcane waste material for production of nanoparticles.
