Part of the book series: Nanotechnology in the Life Sciences ((NALIS))

Abstract

The applications of magnetic nanostructures (MNSs) in various fields of human welfare have recently gained much attention due to their irreplaceable and unique advantages. Plant-mediated synthesized MNSs have provided a sustainable approach toward their cost-effective green synthesis with reduced harm. In the present chapter, syntheses of MNSs by using plant resources, challenges, and their potential applications are discussed.
