Anielle Christine A. Silva

Abstract


Abstract Nanotechnology has experienced remarkable strides in response to the pressing need for environmentally friendly synthesis routes, with a paramount focus on minimizing deleterious by-products. This paradigm shift has galvanized researchers to delve into green biotechnology alternatives, harnessing the potential of plant extracts to reduce metal ions efficiently and yield green nanoparticles. These resultant nanoparticles not only showcase significant potential as antimicrobial agents but also hold profound implications for advancements in healthcare. This systematic review provides an in-depth exploration of green-synthesized nanoparticles, comprehensively analyzing their distinctive characteristics, antimicrobial effects, promising applications, and potential toxicity. Within this extensive array of nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles [Ag] have garnered particular attention due to their extensively researched antibacterial effects against both gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms.Additionally, noteworthy nanoparticles encompass copper [Cu], gold [Au], zinc oxide [ZnO], iron [Fe], magnesium oxide [MgO], and titanium dioxide [TiO2]. Despite some works in the current body of research, a substantial knowledge gap persists concerning the intricate interaction between metallic ions employed in synthesis and the compounds inherent to plant structures. Bridging this knowledge gap is imperative for the progressive evolution of the field and the optimization of the nanoparticle synthesis process. Furthermore, the study accentuates the diverse applications of these nanoparticles across various domains, shedding light on their behavior in intricate material matrices such as sensors, films, microdevices, and pharmaceuticals. A thorough exploration of these applications is pivotal for unlocking the complete potential of green-synthesized nanoparticles in various technological and biomedical contexts. In conclusion, this systematic review significantly contributes to resolving critical gaps in our understanding of green-synthesized nanoparticles. It is a foundational step towards further advancements in nanotechnology, paving the way for sustainable and effective antimicrobial solutions.
