Green synthesis of metal
nanoparticles
Abstract
Abstract.
Nanoscale materials are unique research objects which attract growing attention
due to their special physical and chemical properties and a wide range of
applications. The last decade in science there is a trend towards the
introduction of "green technologies" for production of various materials,
including metal nanoparticles. The development of synthesis methods that do not
use toxic substances and involve the use of various plant extracts and
microorganisms is becoming increasingly important. This review discusses the
current and modern methods of green chemistry underlying the production of
several metal nanoparticles: gold, silver, copper, platinum, and palladium
nanoparticles. In addition, the review describes the practical applications of
various metal nanoparticles, including in the field of medicine for diagnosis
and therapy of various diseases.
Key words:
metal nanoparticles, green chemistry, green synthesis, natural extracts,
applications, biomedicine
