A Review on Applications of Biosynthesised Silver Nanoparticles (original) (raw)

2023, GIS Science Journal

ABSTRACTIn modern era nanotechnology and nanoparticles are being emerged very quickly, and have attracted remarkable attention due to their biomedical and industrial activities. Nowadays, biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has gained so much attention in developed countries due to the demand of eco-friendly technology for material synthesis. The use of green chemistry is environmentally friendly, less-toxic, and cost effective. The chemical synthesis of nanoparticles increases the adverse effects on the ecosystem and living organisms. One possible way to reduce these adverse effects is the biological-mediated synthesis of nanoparticles with new biological sources like plants and microorganisms. The silver nanoparticles produced by plants or other microorganisms have various applications such as antibacterial, antifungal, antivirus, anticancer drugs, in waste water treatment, animal and fish farms etc. In recent days strategies for improving the efficacy of antibiotics is done by combining them with AgNPs. They control the microbial infections as by the damaging microbial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This review describes the synthesis of the AgNPs from green sources, and their prominent impact on their applications.
