Factors Affecting «Green» Nanoparticle Synthesis

Abstract

The synthesis of metal nanoparticles by plants is relatively cheap, reliable, environmentally friendly and belongs to the group of methods of "green" synthesis. Vegetable raw materials are optimal for "green" synthesis of nanoparticles for use in various fields. The reduction of metal ions with the formation of nanoparticles is due to a number of factors, including the nature of the plant extract, the reaction medium, temperature, reaction time, concentration and electrochemical potential of the metal ion. The study of the peculiarities of the synthesis of metal nanoparticles from vegetable raw materials and their specific properties will provide wide application in biology, medicine, agriculture, as well as in the food industry. All this together will help to improve people's health, life expectancy and quality of life.
