Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Azadirachta Indica (Neem): A review
Authors

Abstract

Green synthesis of nanoparticles using plant extracts has become a sustainable and effective alternative to traditional chemical and physical methods. This review focuses on the use of Azadirachta indica (neem) extract, which contains bioactive compounds that act as natural reducing and stabilizing agents.

The paper discusses the synthesis of different nanoparticles such as silver, gold, copper, zinc oxide, and magnesium oxide. It also highlights their key properties, including controlled particle size (usually 10–80 nm), good stability, and useful optical features.

The findings show that plant-based nanoparticles have important applications in biomedicine, environmental cleanup, agriculture, and photocatalysis, including antimicrobial activity and the breakdown of organic pollutants. This review also points out that factors like synthesis conditions, plant extract composition, and related challenges are important. Overall, it shows that plant-based nanoparticle synthesis is a promising link between sustainable chemistry and modern nanotechnology.
