Biogenic Synthesis of Nanoparticles and Potential Applications: An Eco- Friendly Approach

Abstract

The uprising in materials science has been hosted by previous few decades. There has been a substantial research interest in the area of using particulate systems to accomplish various approaches. The conception or synthesis of material with nanometer-scale precision (nanoparticles), by means of material science, is nanotechnology. Nanoparticles are defined as particulate dispersal or solid particles, with a size in the range of 1-100 nm.This review intends to present biosynthesis and application of nanoparticles in minutiae. Here, we discussed different synthesis methods, i.e. chemical, physical and biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles. The potential come together between nanotechnology and biological science is enormous. Realistic biologics depends on units that have nanoscale dimensions (proteins, viruses, molecular motors, extra cellular matrix). Our major dictum is to focus the various facet of synthesis of nanoparticles, characterization, and its imperative application by giving accent on biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles.

In vitro antimicrobicidal and cytotoxicity efficacy of gold nanoparticles synthesized from Alternaria brassicae (KF934409)

“…Fungi have been reported a better nanoparticles producers because of their toxicity reception, bioaccumulation, simple downstream processing, comparatively economic in comparison with others, and easy biomass handling [24]. Considering this fact AuNPs were synthesized from fungus A. brassicae where the supernatant of fungus was used as reducing and stabilizing agent for 1 mM of gold tetrahydrate salt.…”

Nanotoxicology of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles

“…These capping agents prevent nanoparticle aggregation and likely play an important role in the stabilization of the nanosystem. The presence of capping agents may improve the biocompatibility of biogenic nanomaterials [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of the simplicity of biogenic synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles along with the advantages and disadvantages of green processes.…”

“…The production of metal oxide nanoparticles via biogenic synthesis has received increasing attention recently because it is a novel process for the development of engineered materials [3]. The biogenic synthesis of nanomaterials by different organisms offers a reliable, low-cost and environment friendly alternative approach compared with classical chemical and/or physical methods [3][4][5][6][7][8]. The biogenic synthesis of metallic nanoparticles leads to the formation of capped nanostructures with proteins/biomolecules from the organism during the biosynthesis.…”

“…However, the main disadvantages are the limitations related to the scaling up the syntheses processes. In addition, the reproducibility of the biogenic processes needs to be improved, and in most of the cases, the mechanisms of nanoparticle formation are not completely elucidated [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

Biosynthesis and Characterization of Zinc Sulphide Nanoparticles Using Leaf Extracts of Tridaxprocumbens

“…It's grown on waste lands and hill stations normally, the leaves and flowers are commonly toothed and arrowhead shaped, yellow colored flowers, Tridaxprocumbens plant has more herbal properties in pharmaceuticals [21][22] .Coat buttons is a common name of Tridaxprocumbens in English because of its flower appearance. In India its widely used ayurvedic medicine extensively like wound healing, liver disorders.…”
