“…UV-vis spectroscopy, which is based on the Beer-Lambert law, is a common method for investigating the optical and structural properties of nanomaterials, such as shape, size, agglomeration state, concentration, refractive index, and colloidal stability [213][214][215][216][217]. This technique, as previously stated, can be used to confirm the formation of IONPs.…”

The rise of antimicrobial resistance caused by inappropriate use of these agents in various settings has become a global health threat. Nanotechnology offers the potential for the synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) with antimicrobial activity, such as iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). The use of IONPs is a promising way to overcome antimicrobial resistance or pathogenicity because of their ability to interact with several biological molecules and to inhibit microbial growth. In this review, we outline the pivotal findings over the past decade concerning methods for the green synthesis of IONPs using bacteria, fungi, plants, and organic waste. Subsequently, we delve into the primary challenges encountered in green synthesis utilizing diverse organisms and organic materials. Furthermore, we compile the most common methods employed for the characterization of these IONPs. To conclude, we highlight the applications of these IONPs as promising antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, and antiviral agents.

“…The different sources used for the biogenic synthesis of AgNPs is represented in Figure 2. Ghamipoor et al (2020) reported a phytochemical extract from Anthemis nobilis-produced AgNPs by reducing silver nitrate and further studied the antibacterial activity of the NPs that were environment-friendly, simple process, less-toxic, and inexpensive [41]. There are challenges in nanotechnology while designing an NP such as tailoring the physical properties and controlling the configuration of the particles and the production cost.…”

In recent years, nanotechnology has received extraordinary attention as the demands of today’s modern lifestyle are actively changing every day. The need for a sustainable environment and process is the prerequisite today for any advancement. Nanoparticles and its application have extended its wings into various fields. Researchers across the globe are constantly exploring the applications of NPs, especially those of metallic NPs. Among the metallic NPs, silver NPs has received special attention owing to their excellent physical and chemical properties. Nanobiotechnology has opened avenues for such a sustainable and environment-friendly progress. So, in this review, we have summarized the different methods employed in synthesising AgNPs, with special focus on the biological synthesis. This approach is of importance because of its advantages such as use of nontoxic compounds, inexpensive process, and high stability of products obtained in comparison to the other approaches. Several biomolecules of interest such as microbes and plant extracts that are used for synthesis are discussed in detail. The recent advancements in the environmental application of these biologically synthesised NPs include remediation of heavy metals and sensing, as catalysts in toxic dye degradation, remediation of waste water, and also, as a pesticidal agent for crop protection. Although AgNPs have been used in several sectors of research and industries, relevance to the environment is prominent owing to the impact it makes on the humans and all forms of life on earth.
