Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles

Abstract

The chemistry of the Earth is unimaginably complex mostly due to a splendid tangled web of interdependencies of living and lifeless components that include a vast, diverse, and global array of naturally occurring nanomaterials. Green synthesis of nanoparticles using biological entities is a novel, reliable, ecofriendly approach. So these can be used as mini factories for the production of nanoparticles. The green synthesis methods are more ecofriendly and safe compared to other physical and chemical methods. This chapter highlights a comprehensive view to understand the synthesis of silver nanoparticles.
