Abstract: In recent years nanotechnology is developing very quickly and gaining more attention. In the field of green nanotechnology, the synthesis of nanoparticles using an environment-friendly approach which is the cost-efficient and lesser time required. These properties are shown by plant extract and hence they are used for the synthesis of nanoparticles. Plant extract consists of various phytochemicals like alkaloids, terpenoids, flavones, ketones, aldehydes, amides, and carboxylic acids. These particles are associated with the synthesis of silver nanoparticles as it will serve as reducing and capping agents for the conversion of silver nitrate to silver nanoparticles. In the current period, the use of silver nanoparticles has been enhanced due to their development in antibiotic resistance against many pathogenic microorganisms. The silver nanoparticles have been widely used in various fields of biomedical industries as coating, cosmetics, nanodevices production, etc. The enormous potential has been shown by the medicinal plants in the evolution of the new drug molecules for different types of severe diseases. These medicinal plants are used for biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles and these can be further implemented in various other fields for various purposes.
