Recent Advancement in Green Synthesis of Metal Nanoparticles and their Catalytic Applications
P. Arunkumar, S. Saran, G. Manjari and K. Mohanty
Nanotechnology is growing as an essential discipline in research with several applications. For the synthesis of nanoparticles, distinct methods such as chemical, physical and biological entities have been adopted. Among these, green synthesis of metal nanoparticles has gained wider attention owing to its simplicity, non-toxicity, cost-effective, sustainable and easy availability. The phyto compounds existing in the plant extract either acts as reducing, stabilizing and capping agents; thereby, it reduces the cost and consumptions of energy and hazardous chemicals. This review mainly focused on the recent trend in the utilization of the plant material for the synthesizing of various metal nanoparticles and their catalytic application with special reference to their morphological features.
