Abstract EN
Silver has been recognized as a nontoxic, safe inorganic antibacterial/antifungal agent used for centuries.
Silver demonstrates a very high potential in a wide range of biological applications, more particularly in the form of nanoparticles.
Environmentally friendly synthesis methods are becoming more and more popular in chemistry and chemical technologies and the need for ecological methods of synthesis is increasing; the aim is to reduce polluting reaction by-products.
Another important advantage of green synthesis methods lies in its cost-effectiveness and in the abundance of raw materials.
During the last five years, many efforts were put into developing new greener and cheaper methods for the synthesis of nanoparticles.
The cost decrease and less harmful synthesis methods have been the motivation in comparison to other synthesis techniques where harmful reductive organic species produce hazardous by-products.
This environment-friendly aspect has now become a major social issue and is instrumental in combatting environmental pollution through reduction or elimination of hazardous materials.
This review describes a brief overview of the research on green synthesis of silver metal nanoparticles and the influence of the method on their size and morphology.
