Abstract
This review outlines the properties of nanoparticles which contribute
to their appeal in various fields. Properties such as high surface area to
volume ratio, quantum size effect, and light-scattering absorption make
nanoparticles attractive in the biomedical and technology industries. It
discusses the various methods utilized for synthesizing nanoparticles. Plant
extracts have been the most common source of green synthesis due to their easy
availability and rich biochemical compounds. Furthermore, the review highlights
the role of various parameters affecting the green synthesis of nanoparticles,
including pH, temperature, concentration, and the substrate used. The paper discussed
on the stability of green synthesized nanoparticles which is closely associated
with the shape and size of the nanoparticles. The effect of stabilizing agents
on the particle size, shape, and stability of nanoparticles is briefly
addressed. Finally, the review explained the applications of nanoparticles in
various fields such as biomedical engineering, drug delivery, and environmental
remediation. The review suggests that more future research is necessary with
sustainable materials to ensure the effectiveness and safety of green
synthesized nanoparticles.
