RECENT ADVANCES IN PLANT SYNTHESIS OF NANOMATERIALS

Abstract

In recent years are witnessed to utilizing dedicated plants as a sustainable, cheap, and ecofriendly source of synthesizing nanomaterials. A variety of reliable waste biomass sources can be utilized as renewable, affordable, and excellent resources for maximizing energy production. A large number of agricultural, forestry, and industrial industries use biomass as a widely available and readily available source of nanomaterial synthesis. The nanomaterials are widely used in a variety of fields at present. Researchers have worked for the last few decades to produce nanomaterials from various types of biomass such as plants, cellulose and bacteria, to produce metallic and carbonaceous nanostructures. This review describes the principle, synthesis method and merits/demerits of plant synthesis method.
