Keywords:
Green chemistry, Nanoparticle synthesis, Eco-friendly methods, Biomedical applications, Environmental remediationAbstract
Green chemistry approaches have revolutionized the synthesis of nanoparticles by providing environmentally sustainable, cost-effective, and non-toxic alternatives to conventional physical and chemical methods. This study focuses on the development and application of green synthesis techniques utilizing biological entities such as plant extracts, microorganisms, and biopolymers as reducing and stabilizing agents. These eco-friendly methods not only minimize hazardous waste and energy consumption but also enhance the biocompatibility and functional efficiency of nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles exhibit remarkable physicochemical properties, making them suitable for diverse applications in biomedical, environmental, agricultural, and industrial sectors. In particular, their roles in drug delivery, antimicrobial activity, wastewater treatment, and catalysis highlight their growing significance. Despite certain challenges such as scalability and standardization, green nanotechnology presents a promising pathway toward sustainable scientific and industrial advancements. Thus, the integration of green chemistry principles in nanoparticle synthesis contributes significantly to environmental protection and technological innovation.
