Abstract

Green synthesised nanoparticles are a new source of inspiration for clinical research, as this method uses natural materials, such as plant-derived materials, for synthesis. Green nanoparticle synthesis using plant extracts is simple, inexpensive, chemicals, resulting in biologically active shape-and sizedependent products with no contaminants or byproducts. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have unique physiochemical properties and promising biological applications. To assess AgNPs' functionality, they must be characterized. Natural compounds found in plant extracts reduce and stabilise AgNPs. Green synthesis is more environmentally friendly than conventional methods, but many questions remain. To understand the plant-mediated process, many studies are needed. This proposed book chapter examines the synthesis, characterization, and bio activities of green-synthesised AgNPs. The goal is to provide an overview of green AgNP synthesis and their bioactivity assessment.
