Synthesis, Characterization,
and Application of Biogenic
Nanomaterials: An Overview
Shruti Kakkar, Bhupendra Harjani, Naresh Ledwani and Lalita Ledwani
Abstract Nanotechnology is the most promising and interdisciplinary field of
research that has been growing rapidly worldwide in different fields. Nanotechnology commits a sustainable development through its continuous growth toward green
chemistry to develop “green nanotechnology”. Green nanotechnology is implementation of green chemistry and green engineering principles in the field of nanotechnology to influence the size of nanoparticles within a nanoscale range to make biogenic
nanoparticles. These biogenic nanomaterials can help in solving serious environmental challenges in the area of wastewater treatment, pollutant removal, fatal diseases, climate change, and solar energy conversion. This review provides a brief idea
about the current potential applications of nanotechnology into the bio-environmental
systems and how this technology can help in the synthesis of biogenic nanoparticle. Biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles is an environmentally friendly approach; it
reduces environmental pollutants and conserves natural resources without creating
any environmental damages.
