Definition
The synthesis of nanoparticles by using biological materials such as plants. Microorganisms in an eco-friendly manner are called the green synthesis of nanoparticles.
Introduction
With the advancement of chemical and physical methods for producing nanoparticles (NPs), many researchers require to develop NPs in environmentally safe ways that do not use harmful substances, particularly in medicinal applications. Nowadays, researchers need to focus more on reducing hazards to the environment and humans by using natural products such as reducing agents in the NP synthesis method. The green synthesis relies on the reduction potential of organic compounds and sometimes organisms toward the metal ions and forms as stable NPs. To date, diversified plant extracts have been employed to synthesize NPs from different metal ions. Several kinds of research have proven that...
