Abstract

Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) have shown a wide range of applications in various technological fields. It is due to their unique properties such as biocompatibility, stability, tunable pore size, high surface area and surface reactivity. The ease of surface functionalization of SiNPs further extends their applications in biomedicine, targeted drug delivery and biosensing applications. Most of the works on SiNPs are focused on their synthesis by chemical methods for different applications. However, SiNPs can be prepared by green synthetic protocols that utilize plants, agriculture waste, industrial waste, fungi, bacteria, yeast, clay/mineral, worms, actinomycetes, etc. The green and sustainable methods offer distinctive encouraging features to produce nanomaterials with desired properties. The green synthesis of silica nanoparticles is an important area of research having considerable potential for further future developments. In this mini review, collective information on current green approaches for the synthesis of SiNPs is presented. The various green methods of synthesis for SiNPs are discussed with examples from the literature. The future challenges and expected advances are also pointed out which will decide the direction of research in this field.
