Abstract
Green synthesis of nanoparticles via nanotechnology has many potential applications
in various fields. The main aim of green synthesis is to decrease the use of toxic
chemicals. Nanotechnology is considered as the revolution in the field of science
and technology. It involves the manipulation of materials and synthesizes structures
of different atoms and molecules on nano-scale having similar chemical composition
to larger synthesized nanoparticles which had never been as easy as it has become
with the “green-synthesis” methodologies. Using plants and micro-organisms such
as bacteria, fungi have thus become biologically safe, cost-effective and environmental-friendly.
In this review, we have discussed about green-synthesis and the different techniques
that are involved for formation of nanoparticles and focused mainly on gold and
silver nanoparticles including their sources and various anti-bacterial, anti-fungal,
anti-viral, anti-cancerous, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic properties.
