Abstract This current review provides a comprehensive overview of magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles, focusing on their synthesis, characterization, and diverse applications. MgO nanoparticles have attracted considerable research interest owing to their remarkable physicochemical properties, such as high surface area, excellent thermal stability, strong ionic bonding, and chemical inertness. Various synthesis methods including sol–gel, co-precipitation, hydrothermal, and combustion techniques are discussed, emphasizing how processing parameters affect the size, morphology, and crystallinity of the resulting nanoparticles. Characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV–Visible spectroscopy are reviewed to understand the structural, morphological, and optical behavior of MgO nanoparticles. The review further highlights their wide range of applications in catalysis, gas sensing, environmental remediation, antibacterial treatments, and biomedical systems, driven by their non-toxic, biocompatible, and highly reactive nature. The study concludes by emphasizing the relationship between synthesis routes, material characteristics, and performance, suggesting pathways for the future design of MgO nanostructures with enhanced functionality for technological and environmental advancements.
