Unveiling Biological Synthesis of Metal Nanoparticles, their Characterization and Scopes : A Review

Abstract

Due to their distinct physico-chemical characteristics and prospective uses in a variety of disciplines, nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted a lot of attention recently, including plant science. Green synthesis methods, which utilize environment friendly and sustainable approaches, have shown to be an effective approach to fabricate NPs for plant-related applications. This paper seeks to give a general overview of the green synthesis methods used to create nanoparticles and their uses. We discuss the advantages of green synthesis, including reduced environmental impact and enhanced biocompatibility. Furthermore, it highlights the properties, characterization, synthesis of nanoparticles and potential roles of green synthesized nanoparticles in agricultural, antitumor, oxidative, larvicidal and microbial activity.
