Green Synthesis of Nanoparticles

AcIRSTD scientists used natural plant extracts to create a green method for synthesizing metal nanoparticles. This method is both environmentally friendly and cost-effective, and it has a lot of potential for use in a variety of industrial applications as eco-friendly reducing and capping agents to create safe, sustainable nanomaterials without toxic chemicals.

Green synthesis of nanoparticles provides major research benefits by being eco-friendly, cost-effective, and biocompatible. It uses natural agents like plants, bacteria, and fungi to replace harmful chemicals, lower energy needs, and improve safety in medical and environmental uses

The research focuses on eco-friendly, non-toxic methods using biological systems, with core research areas centered on plant and microbial mechanisms, biomedical and environmental applications, and process optimization and scaling. The research will highlight advantages like non-toxic production, enhanced biomedical effectiveness, and efficient environmental cleanup, alongside challenges in scaling and control
