green-synthesis

3 articles

Green synthesis refers to the use of plant extracts, phytochemicals, and other biological materials as reducing and stabilizing agents to produce nanoparticles and other compounds without toxic reagents or harsh chemical processes. This approach is significant in plant science because it leverages the natural biochemical properties of plant-derived molecules—such as phenolics, flavonoids, and terpenoids—to create functional materials in an environmentally benign way. It also deepens understanding of how plant secondary metabolites interact with metal ions and other substrates, bridging phytochemistry with materials science.
