Use of Green Synthesized Platinum Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications

Platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) are extremely promising for biological applications due to their exceptional physicochemical characteristics. To address the drawbacks of the conventional physical and chemical procedures for the production of PtNPs, inexpensive and environmentally friendly alternatives have been devised. Several biogenic components, namely plant extracts, bacteria, fungus, and algae, were used in the green synthesis of PtNPs, and their biomedical effects were evaluated. The fabrication conditions, energy need, and reaction time were all decreased by using green methods to create PtNPs. The state-of-the-art techniques employed for the environmentally friendly production of PtNPs, the characterization of PtNPs, and their claimed biological uses are highlighted in this chapter.
