摘要

In the present times, sustainability is the need of the hour and is of utmost importance for the progress of the human civilization. Sustainable development has become cornerstone for deep scientific advancements. The field of the nanotechnology is one of the promising technologies that have touched every area of the science. Presently, the term green nanotechnology is in limelight and has become a forerunner of mankind. The field of green nanotechnology is so versatile providing solutions to major environmental challenges. Green synthesized nanoparticles using the plants and the microbes have overshadowed the traditional chemical and the physical methods and are non-toxic, environmentally sound, efficient and cost effective. Nanoparticles biosynthesized through green routes exhibit multifunctional properties and are being utilized in diverse fields such as agriculture, bio-energy, environment, medicine and nutrition. Green nanotechnology is an emerging area of research with the capability to reshape the world and achieve new heights in the goals of the sustainability. The present review focuses on the classification of the nanomaterials, different methods of synthesis most importantly shedding light on biological methods and the applications of the green synthesized nanoparticles in agriculture, medicine and environment. Further, the review also highlights how green nanotechnology aligns with UN SDGs. The major search engines used for compiling the present review include Google Scholar, PubMed, ResearchGate, SCOPUS and Semantic Scholar. Thus, the green nanotechnology has emerged as a promising avenue and is making a remarkable recognition in variety of the sectors due to their unique characteristics.
