Synthesis of nanoparticles from weeds a better alternative of weed utilization: A review

Abstract

In the area of green chemistry the recent most burning topic is green synthesized nanoparticles from plant sources and their sustainable used. To invent a technology it must be rapid and ecofriendly, the green synthesis of nanoparticles from weeds seems to be a viable option. Nanoparticles have brilliant applications in the field of cosmetics, biosensor, and Nano medicine and also showed better performance in the field of agriculture. The potential of synthesizing nanoparticles from weeds and its used has been still unexplored. Now days silver nanoparticles are the one of the most studied nanomaterial because of its small size, high stability and low reactivity. The natural compounds (alkaloids, amino acids, polysaccharides, vitamins, enzymes etc.) that are present in plants are responsible for the synthesizing silver nanoparticles. The present review describes the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from weeds and their applications.
