Abstract

Nanoscience is a fascinating field of study that has made unique outputs and applications both cost-effective and efficient. Significant and outstanding Nano-based applications have been applied in various sectors such as agricultural, food processing, and pharmaceutical sectors. Nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 1 to 100 nm have a significant measure of the relationship between surface area and volume. Because nanomaterials have a higher bioavailability than bigger particles, they can be used as individual cells; organs, and tissues are all examples of this. Silver is considered as the most researched and used material to prepare nanoparticle. Because of their vast range of prospective uses, silver nanoparticles have sparked a lot of attention. Silver nanoparticles are less hazardous to humans, but they are extremely harmful to bacteria. In biomedical applications, silver nanoparticles have been discovered to be useful in antimicrobial, catalysis, human health, and the environment cleanup. Silver nanoparticles are attractive catalytic materials for a variety of applications due to their outstanding optical and electrical characteristics. This article reviewed the synthesis of silver nanoparticles via green approach and important applications such as antimicrobial activity, insecticidal activity, anticancer activity, nano-biosensors, human health applications, environmental applications, painting application and many others.
