Green Synthesis of Nanoparticles Using Different Plant Extracts and Their Characterizations

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nanobiotechnology

Abstract

The green nanoparticles synthesis is a modern field that currently resonates compared to other preparation methods due to its characteristics that make it used in all fields. This chapter briefly explained traditional and biological methods for preparing nanomaterials and mentioned the advantage and disadvantage to these methods, then explained in more detail the phytofabrication of nanoparticles from different parts of the plant, which are considered a good source for biological molecules that act as reducing agents and modifies metal ions into nanoparticles that have unique properties. It also illustrates the green methods for preparing nanoparticles such as silver, zinc oxide and copper in some detail and their reaction conditions which influence the size, shape and structure of NPs. In addition to mechanisms of their formation and the different biomolecules that contribute to its synthesis.
