Definition
The plant or plant-mediated bioreduction of metal ions into their respective elemental form is referred to as the green synthesis of nanoparticles. Green nanoparticles are less toxic and are widely used in biomedical applications.
Introduction
Green synthesis and green materials are the terms associated with green technology. Green technology broadly refers to the synthesis of eco-friendly green materials with less or no adverse environmental impacts, such as not contributing to global warming. The green nanoparticles range from 1 nm to 100 nm and are used in various sectors like paints, filters, insulation and lubricant additives, waterproof coatings, etc., including medicine. Green chemistry approaches are employed in organic synthesis and the design of beneficial drug molecules over traditional synthetic processes (Selvakesavan and Franklin 2021; Jeevanandam et al. 2018).
