| Abstract |
| Nanotechnology, with transformative implications for engineering, environmental protection, and healthcare, is a rapidly growing field that explores the unique properties of materials at the nanoscale. Conventional physical and chemical methods for nanoparticle (NP) synthesis often require high energy inputs and generate hazardous byproducts, raising concerns about cost, safety, and sustainability. Using microorganisms, plants, and other biological resources as stabilizing and reducing agents, green synthesis has become a viable substitute in response. Sustainable, cost-effective, and scalable methods for creating metal and metal oxide nanoparticles are offered by these natural extracts. In addition to reducing chemical contamination, the biosynthetic method improves the stability and functional variety of nanoparticles. This review aims to explore recent advances in green NP synthesis, analyze the underlying mechanisms, highlight key applications, and address current limitations. To fully harness the potential of green nanotechnology in different applications, this review emphasizes future directions and underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration. |
