Green Synthesis of Metal nanoparticles: a Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Science and Innovative Research - Year 2021, Vol 2, Issue 05
Abstract
In this review paper we have collected data regarding the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles i.e silver, copper, zinc and their applicability in various fields. The various parameters which affect the formation of metal nanoparticles are the concentration of metal salts, the temperature of reaction and the duration of completion of the reaction. In this method the phytochemicals present in plant parts (leaf, fruit, stem, and flower) are responsible for the reduction of metal ions. Not only this, these plant extracts act as capping agents and stabilizing agents as well. The green method is cost-effective, simple and eco-friendly compared to other methods such as physical methods, chemical methods and biological methods which are very productive in terms of yield and less time-consuming. But their ultimate drawback is their waste material which is nonbiodegradable and dangerous pollutants. Besides the waste material, the material and instruments used are of expensive nature.
