Abstract

The synthesis of nanoparticles has become the matter of great interest in recent times due to its various advantageous properties and applications in various fields. Though physical and chemical methods are more popular for nanoparticle synthesis, the biogenic production is a better option due to eco-friendliness. This review reports the potential of plants i.e. “green chemistry” to synthesize nanoparticles not only in the laboratory scale but also in their natural environment. Furthermore, factors affecting biosynthesis along with current and future applications are also discussed.
