Abstract

Silver nanoparticles has gained top most popularity in health care sector as well as other various fields including textile, cosmetics and agriculture. Due to its potential various methods of synthesis were developed such as chemical, physical and green synthesis. In this articles advantages of various green synthesis method is highlighted over chemical and physical method along with its source and applications. Green synthesis is economical and ecofriendly. It devoids of toxic chemicals and products as that of chemical and physical methods of synthesis. The aqueous extract which are obtained from plants used in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Extract it self acts as a reducing agent and a capping agent, which leads to formation of stable silver nanoparticles. Application of stable silver nanoparticles in the various fields including the textile, cosmetics, and agriculture which are also reviewed in this articles. Silver nanoparticles is now coming put forth as potential antimicrobial agent and anticancer agents. Multidrug resistance bacteria also can be treated by silver nanoparticles. In future silver nanoparticles may acts as the new generation aid for the treatment of various disease conditions including cancers also.

Keywords: Green synthesis, Eco-friendly, capping agents, reducing agents, antimicrobial.
