Green Synthesis of Metal Nanoparticles
Abstract
Abstract Nanoscale materials are unique research objects which attract growing attention due to their special physical and chemical properties and a wide range of applications. There is a trend in science towards the introduction of “green technology” into production of varied materials, including metal nanoparticles, in the last decade. The development of synthetic procedures that use various plant extracts and microorganisms, rather than toxic substances, is becoming increasingly important. This review discusses the current and modern methods of green chemistry underlying the production and stabilization of gold, silver, copper, platinum, and palladium metal nanoparticles. In addition, the review describes the practical applications of metal nanoparticles, including medicine for diagnosis and therapy of various diseases.
