Nanotechnology has been recognized as the emerging field for the synthesis, designing, and manipulation of particle structure at the nanoscale. Its rapid development is also expected to revolutionize industries such as applied physics, mechanics, chemistry, and electronics engineering with suitably tailoring various nanomaterials. Inorganic nanoparticles such as silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have garnered more interest with their diverse applications. In correspondence to green chemistry, researchers prioritize green synthetic techniques over conventional ones due to their eco-friendly and sustainable potential. Green-synthesized NPs have proven more beneficial than those synthesized by conventional methods because of capping by secondary metabolites. The present study reviews the various means being used by the researchers for the green synthesis of Ag-NPs. The morphological characteristics of these NPs as obtained from numerous characterization techniques have been explored. The potential applications of bio-synthesized Ag-NPs viz. Antimicrobial, antioxidant, catalytic, and water remediation along with the plausible mechanisms have been discussed. In addition, toxicity analysis and biomedical applications of these NPs have also been reviewed to provide a detailed overview. The study signifies that biosynthesized Ag-NPs can be efficiently used for various applications in the biomedical and industrial sectors as an environment-friendly and efficient tool.
