Green Synthesis of Nanoparticles

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Green Nanoparticles: The Future of Nanobiotechnology

Abstract

Nanoparticle synthesis is usually accomplished using three methods, viz., physical, chemical, and biological, each having its own unique features. The physical and chemical methods are considered superior for obtaining stable nanostructures having uniform size, but do not fill into our objective of long-term sustainability goals. Considering the limitations of these methods in nanomaterial synthesis, environmentally friendly methods need to be developed using techniques that are clean, nontoxic, and environment-friendly. This has ushered in the evolution of “green nanotechnology” as a new discipline. Bionanofabrication is its most important component since it uses living organisms or their biomass instead of the expensive physical or chemical methods and provides an environmentally benign, less-toxic, and cheap method for nanoparticle synthesis. Biological synthesis has been used for the green synthesis of diverse range of nanoparticles comprising of metals, semiconductors, quantum dots, and alloys.
