Biogenic Metallic Nanoparticles from Waste Biomass: Advances in Green Synthesis, Characterization, and Multifunctional Applications
摘要
In recent years, the development of facile green chemistry-based technology for fabrication of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) has become a major focus among researchers. Several investigational experiments brought a conclusion on development of an eco-friendly technique to produce well-characterized metallic nanoparticles (MNPs). Although most considered methods to produce MNPs is using microorganism, the valorised agro-industrial waste has demonstrated major alternative for the same. NPs fabricated using plant derived materials are more stable and the rate of synthesis is faster than those using microorganism. This might be due to presence of multifarious bioactive compound that act as both capping and stabilizing agent. It is worth noting that green synthesis of NPs is an active area of research, and various approaches and natural sources have been explored to produce NPs of different metallic materials, such as silver, gold, copper, and zinc oxides, among others. The advantages of using waste-biomass and plant derived materials for biosynthesis of MNPs have interested researchers to investigate mechanisms of metal ions uptake and bio-reduction by plants, and to understand the possible mechanism of MNPs formation followed by their multifarious applications. In this review a brief on use of various plant and plants derived materials for capping, reduction, and stabilization have been taken into consideration with their toxicological profile and multifarious application have been elaborated.
