Abstract

Nanotechnology has gained increased attention from researchers all around the world because of its enormous applications in different fields of life. In this chapter, the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles using the green route, including inorganic nonmetallic nanoparticles and carbon-based nanomaterials, is discussed. The metallic nanoparticles include silver, copper, gold, zinc, platinum, and palladium nanoparticles, whereas the nonmetallic nanoparticles are titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and cadmium oxide. Carbon-based nanomaterials include multiwalled carbon nanotubes and carbon–silicon nanomaterials. The green fabrication of nanoparticles using plant extracts obtained from leaves, roots, or other plant parts is a sound and safe strategy. These nanoparticles are being utilized in different operating procedures because of their multidimensional properties.
