Abstract

For the past few decades, researchers have been fascinated by nanotechnology and nanoparticles due to their unique physico-chemical characteristics, such as increased surface area, reduced size, and improved reactivity, making them useful for various industrial, scientific, and medicinal applications. Silver nanoparticles are widely used, particularly in the biomedical sciences, since they are less toxic than other metal nanoparticles, meaning that they do not harm healthy human or host cells. They are also non-reactive, incredibly stable, and biocompatible. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are promising tools for targeted drug therapy against a range of bacterial, fungal, and viral components. Ag NPs are also powerful anticancer agents. A contemporary research trend is focused on promoting approaches that are benign and reducing the use of chemical-based technologies. For nanoparticles that are often used in laboratories and industry, green synthesis is seen as a crucial tool to lessen the harmful consequences of existing methods, such as the use of hazardous chemicals, high energy consumption, time required, expense, etc. Scientific groups greatly value the use of natural materials that are environmentally benign and biodegradable. Ag NPs produced using green methods are more environmentally friendly, biocompatible, stable, and less toxic than those made using chemical or physical methods. The importance of living entities in reducing and stabilizing silver ions is highlighted in this paper, which examines recent developments in green synthesis techniques.
