Green synthesis is considered a reliable, sustainable, and environmentally-friendly method for creating a variety of nanomaterials, including metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, hybrid materials, and bioinspired materials. Thus, green synthesis is regarded as a key strategy for reducing the negative environmental effects frequently linked to conventional nanoparticle synthesis methods used in both laboratory and industrial settings.
