Metallic Nanoparticles Fabrication Methods– A Brief Overview.

Abstract

Abstract With the advent of Nanotechnology, nanoparticle usage has increased tremendously in various applications because of their unique properties and enhanced functionalities. In order to meet the elevated demands for nanomaterials in the commercial market, industrial sector is involved in the mass production of different types of nanoparticles by using numerous fabrication methods such as physical/chemical techniques. But these methods are energy inefficient, costly, and uses hazardous chemicals. Therefore a novel green synthesis biological approach is being adopted for the fabrication of metallic nanoparticles that is much safer and effective in terms of cost, time and functionality.
