A REVIEW ON UTILISATION OF HERBS THROUGH SILVER NANOPARTICLES

Abstract

Nanoparticles made using green synthesis have a wide range of potential uses in the medicinal and
environmental sciences. The main goal of green synthesis is to use less harmful chemicals. For instance, using
living things like plants is typically safe. Additionally, plants contain capping and lowering agents. Here, we
outline the fundamentals of green chemistry and go over the most recent developments in plant-mediated
synthesizing nanoparticles. As contrasted to conventional physical and chemical approaches, plant-
mediated techniques are safer and more eco-friendly. A thorough understanding of the synthesis of silver
nanoparticles is emphasized in this chapter. With such a wide variety of biomolecules present in plants that can
act as capping and reducing agents and thus boost the rate of reduction and stabilization of nanoparticles, using
plants for the synthesis of nanoparticles is proving to be favorable compared to microbes. Nanoparticles made
biologically are finding increased use in a variety of fields. In light of this, the current work considers the
biosynthesis of nanoparticles from plants that are developing into nano factories.
