Halima R, Archna

Abstract: Nanotechnology deals with the study of particles in the range of 1-100nm where they have unique properties which define their application. In recent years, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles is prominent with scientists and researches for its ease of availability, nonhazardous waste production and is economically viable too. It is seen that the green synthesis has over taken the chemical synthesis of nanoparticles as it is quick and easy. The methodology of synthesis along with various conditions like the temperature, time, pH, silver ion concentration, radiations also plays a vital role in the shape, size and yield of the nanoparticles produced. Optimization of the parameters for the better quality yield of silver nanoparticles enables us to apply in areas as microbiology, photography, catalysis, biological labeling, phototonics, optoelectronics, medical devices and healthcare products
