A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON BIOGENIC SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION OF METAL NANOPARTICLES

Abstract

Metallic nanoparticles have unique properties that depend on their composition and structure. Achieving mastery over the synthesis of bi/trimetallic nanoparticles has been one of the greatest accomplishments in recent years. This is a matter of interest because of the fact that, altering the properties of these nanoparticles can prove beneficial for wide arrays of technological use. The goal of this thesis has been to present a comprehensive review of the latest research and advancements made regarding bi and trimetallic nanoparticles. This begins with a brief introduction describing the need of the synthesis of nanoparticles from eco-friendly methodologies, followed by which the process of synthesis from plants, microorganisms and waste material is discussed taking reference from selected articles that best represent the idea. The properties of these alloy nanoparticles are also discussed in terms of their optical, catalysis and magnetism. Finally, concluding this review by discussing their applications in medical fields.
