abstract

Metal nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized through green methods have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their potential for sustainable applications. In this study, we explore the fluorescent and catalytic properties of green-synthesized metal NPs, with a focus on their versatility and eco-friendly production. “Utilizing various plant extracts or other biocompatible sources as reducing and stabilizing agents, we synthesized metal NPs with controlled sizes and shapes. Characterization techniques such as UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were employed to analyze the optical and structural properties of the synthesized NPs. Furthermore, the catalytic activities of these NPs were investigated in diverse reactions, highlighting their potential in sustainable catalysis. The findings of this study underscore the promising prospects of green-synthesized metal NPs as multifunctional materials for environmentally friendly applications in sensing, imaging, and catalysis.
