Abstract

Nanobiotechnology indicates the manufacturing and application of resources on a nanometric scale by convention. The maximum
size of nanoparticles up to 100 nanometers has been indicated in the literature. Nanoparticles are used in various fields of life including medical to many subdivisions of industrial production like solar power and oxide fuel cells for energy storage. The nanoparticles are also widely used in the Sterilization, biological classification, and treatment of some cancers. Due to their unique
properties, anti-corrosion activity, high oxidation resistance, and high thermal conductivity, nanoparticles have proven very significant in the last decade. Nanoparticles can be synthesized by chemical and biological methods. There are different types of metallic nanoparticles that have major industrial applications including gold, silver, alloys, and magnetism. The main objectives of this review were to describe nanoparticles, with specific reference to their mechanisms and types of biosynthesis. The literature review showed that various combinations of plants and nanomaterials were utilized to reduce the polluted environment.
