Synthesis of Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Using Plant Extract: a Review

Abstract

Nanotechnology is an emerging technology and it is related to various applications. Related to nanotechnology development, the use of green chemistry concept, low cost technology and sustainability is a must. Synthesis of nanoparticles using plant extract is a developing technique within the scheme. In this paper, study on metal/metal oxide synthesis and its aspects is presented for describing the potency of natural resources for nanoparticle synthesis within green chemistry approach.
