Abstract

In this chapter, we address the green routes for the synthesis of group 11 nanoparticles which include copper, silver, and gold. In our plan, we will discuss microbial routes such as bacteria and fungi, among others. The traditional precursors which are easily reducible in microbial media will be discussed. In this regard, we will also briefly mention the common techniques for the characterization of metal nanoparticles.
