Green metal nanoparticles: synthesis, characterization and their applications

The use of biological sources such as microbes and plants can help in synthesising nanoparticles in a reliable and eco-friendly way.

The synthesis of nanoparticles by these natural sources is characterised by processes that take place near to ambient temperature and pressures and also near neutral pH.

This edited volume authored by subject specialists, provides all the latest research and builds a database of bioreduction agents to various metal nanoparticles using different precursor systems.

The book also highlights the different strategies such as simplicity, cost-effectiveness, environment-friendly and easily scalable, and includes parameters for controlling the size and shape of the materials developed from the various greener methods.
