Abstract:
The increasing demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable synthesis methods has prompted the exploration of green routes for the production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). This study focuses on the green synthesis of AgNPs from different plants and microbes. The article indicated successful formation of stable AgNPs with well-defined characteristics. The eco-friendly synthesis approach ensures antimicrobial activities of the green-synthesized AgNPs, including bacteria and fungi. The mode of action of the nanoparticles on microbial cells were also investigated, shedding light on their potential as novel antimicrobial agents. Furthermore, the versatility of these green-synthesized AgNPs was explored in different applications, such as biomedical, agricultural, and environmental sectors. Moreover, the environmental implications of utilizing these eco-friendly nanoparticles were assessed, highlighting their potential in addressing contemporary challenges.
