Camellia sinensis Mediated Biogenic Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles for Antibacterial Application

Abstract

Due to their abundant polyphenol content and potent antioxidant properties, green and black tea have lately attracted interest as reducing and stabilising agents in the manufacture of silver nanoparticles. There are potential uses for this economical and environmentally beneficial strategy in medicine, catalysis, and environmental restoration. The process of nanoparticle generation, parameters influencing the synthesis, and numerous characterization approaches are all covered in detail in this paper's thorough overview of the silver nanoparticle synthesis using tea. The most used technique for characterizing tea-mediated silver nanoparticles is UV-Vis spectroscopy because of its ease and sensitivity. The production of silver nanoparticles using tea as a catalyst is a sustainable method, which is crucial for nanotechnology in the twenty-first century.
