Preparation methods, applications, toxicity and mechanisms of silver nanoparticles as bactericidal agent and superiority of green synthesis method

Silver nanoparticles (SNPs) are a type of nanomaterial with wide applications in water treatment, medicine, food packaging, and industrial processes. Their unique optical, electrical, thermal conductivity, and biological properties distinguish them from other metal ions and liken them to noble metal...
