Abstract

During last decade metal nanoparticles have more interest due to their distinct physical, chemical and biological properties. Researchers are expanding their interest towards synthesis of platinum nanoparticles as they provide various applications. Consequently nanoparticles are synthesis by different physical and chemical methods, having negative impact on environment. Plant extract acts as a reducing and capping agent in the synthesis of nanoparticles. This method does not produce toxic by-products and carried out in room temperature. The plant extract mediated nanoparticles provide simple, economical, ecofriendly, rapid and safe method. This review article provides the recent trend in the biosynthesis of platinum nanoparticles and its applications.

Keywords: Platinum nanoparticles; Plant extract; Biosyntheis.
