Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing science of producing
and utilizing nano-sized particles. A number of approaches are
available for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles, such as thermal
decomposition [1], electrochemical [2], microwave assisted
process [3] and green chemistry [4]. Many of the nanoparticle
synthesis or production methods of nanoparticles involve the
use of hazardous chemicals, low material conversions and high
energy requirements. So, a growing need to develop an environmentally
friendly process for nanoparticle synthesis without
using toxic chemicals is gaining importance.
