Top-down and Bottom-up Approaches for Synthesis of Nanoparticles

Abstract

There are numerous potential uses as nanoparticles produced from green methods in the medicinal and environmental sciences with a reduction of harmful chemicals and solvents. To synthesize nanoparticles use of safe organic resources like plants, and microorganisms producing nanoparticles for numerous applications such as catalysis, sensing, electronics, photonics and medicine. Aiming to minimize or prevent waste generated from reactions while maintaining efficacy. In this chapter, as well as the production of plant-mediated nanoparticles and some current uses of these materials, such as gold, silver, copper, palladium, platinum, zinc oxide, and titanium dioxide, the fundamentals of green chemistry have been discussed.
