Application of Plant Extracts for the Synthesis of Nanoparticles in Green Chemistry: A Concise Update

Green synthesis of nanoparticles is an emerging topic with many significant applications in environmental and biomedical fields. The main aim of green synthesis is the development of ecofriendly nanoparticles using biological materials, like plants and microbes and thus, reducing the practice of utilizing toxic substances. Different plant-derived materials are regularly utilized to synthesise sustainable nanoparticles with almost comparable properties yet utilize less hazardous manufacturing processes. This review aims to update these green synthetic processes for developing nanoparticles. © 2023 Bentham Science Publishers.
