Green Chemistry for Nanoparticle Synthesis
The biosynthesis of nanoparticles has been suggested as a worthwhile and environmentally affable alternative to physical and chemical methods. One of the green chemistry approaches is plant-mediated synthesis of nanoparticles that connects nanotechnology with plants. Novel methods of ideally synthesizing nanoparticles:
- temperature
- neutral pH
- low costs and
- environmentally friendly trend
Considering these objectives, nanomaterials have been synthesized using many routes. However, for many important aspects of synthesis with environmental considerations, involves the choice and study of nontoxic capping and reducing agents, the selection of safe solvents and therefore the evolution of energy-efficient artificial strategies.
