Sustainable Nanotechnology- Green Synthesis Methods for Silver Nanoparticles

Abstract

Silver has a long history of being an excellent substance in its field of medicine Because of their special qualities, they have been used for a wide range of products, including antibacterial agents, household, industrial, and healthcare-related items, coatings for medical devices, drug delivery, and eventually to increase the tumor-killing effects of anticancer drugs. By the help of nanotechnology pure silver nanoparticles is obtained. The bioreduction of metal ions into their elemental form in the size range of 1–100 nanometers (nm) is known as "green synthesis," and it requires the use of plants or plant parts. As a result, the biological activities are increased and the toxicity level is decreased when AgNPs are synthesised using a green method. Scientists and researchers from various fields are becoming more and more interested in synthesising nanoparticles, particularly silver nanoparticles. However, they are unsure of the proper procedures to follow and the safety precautions to take when synthesising AgNPs, which is why the main goal of this paper is to provide a detailed methodology for the environmentally friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles.
