The implementation of sustainable processes
minimizing the use of unsafe chemical processes and
toxic chemicals is recommended; therefore, there is an
increasing demand for greener synthesis of nanoparticles.
The use of biocompatible, sustainable, and nontoxic
agents as reducing and stabilization agents in the
synthesis of nano-dimensioned silver particles makes
them more suitable for use in biological fields. Normally,
chemical reduction is used for the synthesis of stable
silver nanoparticles in water, and citrate and ascorbate
are commonly-used biocompatible reductants
