Abstract
Green synthesis of nanoparticles is an emerging topic with many significant applications in
environmental and biomedical fields. The main aim of green synthesis is the development of ecofriendly
nanoparticles using biological materials, like plants and microbes and thus, reducing the practice
of utilizing toxic substances. Different plant-derived materials are regularly utilized to synthesise
sustainable nanoparticles with almost comparable properties yet utilize less hazardous manufacturing
processes. This review aims to update these green synthetic processes for developing nanoparticles.
Keywords:
