crucial part in many human activities due to their unique size-dependent properties, i.e., the size of the particle will predict its properties and NPs of the same kind but of different sizes vary from each other 2) . Physiochemical properties of NPs such as ultra-small size, large surface area to mass ratio, and high reactivity 3) are different from those of their bulk form 4) .
IntroductionBiological systems have evolved as a revolutionary technology for synthesizing nanoparticles (NPs) in recent years. Synthesis of NPs expanded greatly in the past few decades by manipulating their properties which makes the research area to grow bigger 1) . With 1-100 nm NPs size, they are utilized in medical industries, catalysis, electro-chemistry biosensors, water treatment, and trace substance detection 2) . They are synthesized by using chemical, physical and biological methods. Depending upon the external environment, NPs may be hollow, spherical, cylindrical, flat and
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
