Salinity stress severely impacts plant growth by reducing water uptake and biomass accumulation, while nanomaterial applications have emerged as effective solutions. This study introduces tannic acid-iron nanomaterial (TA-Fe Nanomaterial), a biocompatible nanomaterial synthesized via self-assembly, as a novel solution to mitigate salt stress. Characterized by lamellar morphology (200 nm average size) and robust thermal stability, TA-Fe Nanomaterial demonstrated potent reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capabilities. Under 100 mM NaCl stress, applying 25 μ g/mL TA-Fe Nanomaterial enhanced rice seed germination, increasing root length by 85% compared to salt-stressed controls. In the hydroponic experiment, treated seedlings exhibited 70% and 87% increases in underground and aboveground lengths, alongside 133% higher fresh weight. Soil-cultivated rice showed 43–88% improvements in biomass and 67% greater shoot length. Furthermore, applying TA-Fe Nanomaterial can alleviate the aberrant ROS accumulation in leaves under the conditions of salinity stress. These findings suggest that TA-Fe Nanomaterial could be a promising tool for enhancing rice tolerance to salt stress, paving the way for future applications in sustainable agriculture.
