Biosynthesis of Metallic Nanoparticles and Their Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Intracellular Delivery

Part of the book series: Fundamental Biomedical Technologies ((FBMT,volume 5))

Abstract

Biosynthesis and biofabrication of the metallic NPs have became an important approach to NP preparation. They are not only equal with the chemical or physical methods, but also offer quite a few assets compared to classical tacks. In this review, we present comprehensive overview of existing published records, which include clear and realistic application of biosynthesized metallic NPs. Our survey covers NP utilization from biosorption and catalysis to medicinal and sensing applications. Moreover, we add current review references and comparison (or synergy) with chemical and physical methods.
