Abstract
Plant-based silver nanoparticles have gained significant interest in
recent years due to their unique properties and potential applications in various
fields such as medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. In this review, we
discuss synthesis of Silver nanoparticles using different plant extract. The
reviewed plant sources include, Aloe vera, Carica papaya, Ginkgo biloba, Ocimum
sanctum, Prosopis juliflora, Punica granatum, Boswellia ovalifoliolata, Tilia
argentea, Houttuynia cordata, Cannabis sativa, Aegle marmelos and Moringa
oleifera. The paper believed that pH, temperature, concentration of Silver
ions, reaction mixture, type of plant extracts, ratio of plant extract to
silver nitrate solution, light exposure, growth conditions of the plant
employed and presence of a reducing agent affect the synthesis processes. The
current review indicated that catalytic applications of plant-based AgNPs demonstrated
unique and eco-friendly catalytic systems that may be generated from plant
extracts and used in a variety of chemical processes and plant-based AgNPs have
shown promising results for water treatment among others.
