Abstract
Coinage metal nanoparticles including gold, silver, and copper are absorbed due to their size and shape-dependent distinct optoelectronic and chemical properties, in addition to their effective use in health-related applications. Among these nanoparticles, Because of their ease of fabrication, characterization, as well as surface modification, Au NPs have triggered a lot of interest in crucial biological applications. Coinage metal nanoparticles provide a robust platform for solving health-related problems because of their outstanding physical and chemical properties. Stable and biocompatible coinage metals NPs have been employed with targeted drug delivery and killing cancerous cells, diagnosing several types of cancers pharmacological applications, i.e., sensing probes, therapeutic agents, and drug delivery systems.
