Analysis of Various Green Methods
to Synthesize Nanomaterials: An
Eco-Friendly Approach
Tripti Singh, Neha Srivastava, P. K. Mishra, and A. K. Bhatiya
Abstract Nanotechnology is a novel and rising technology with various current and
potential applications. It deals with tweaking of matter in order for any of its single
dimensions to drop in the nanometer volume range (1–100 nm). Among the varied
methods employed for the formation of nanoparticles, the green synthesis mode
offers a quick metallic nanoparticle synthesis with a simple, an economical, and an
environment-friendly method having a reproducible approach. Green synthesis
utilizes reducing as well as stabilizing agents from plants and other natural resources
in order to fabricate nanomaterials. Due to the large extent of toxic chemicals and
severe surroundings employed within the physical as well as chemical methods,
biological techniques have been executed via bacteria, fungi, algae, plants, and
agricultural wastes for the production of nanoparticles. Therefore, this chapter
attempts to review the current information about the biological entities that are
used to make greener, safer, and also environmentally sustainable nano-synthesis
routes.
