Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Applications

S. Ravichandran, Riddima Singh

Abstract


From past few decades, green synthesis has gained an immense recognition for eco-friendly and sustainable synthesis of nanomaterials including metal complexes, metal oxides, nano-catalyst (such as platinum, nickel particles). Green synthesis mainly focused on the reduction of toxic chemical used in synthesis. So, for instance the plants are used as biological material to carry out the green synthesis. This review will provide us the idea about the various environmentally friendly routes to carry out the nanoparticle synthesis and its potential application. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles from the plant extract and their applications as antimicrobial agents is highlighted.
