GREEN SYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES USING PLANT EXTRACTS – A REVIEW
K. Anandalakshmi
Abstract
Recently, green synthesis of Ag NPs had gained so much attention in developed countries due to development insist of environmental friendly technology for metal synthesis. Green chemistry methods are more effective because ecofriendly, nontoxic and cheap. Biosynthesis methods are more important because of their other conventional method such as physical, chemical methods and to avoid the hazardous byproducts. This review focused on the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using various plant extract such fruits, leaf, flower stem and its antimicrobial activity.
