Abstract

Biogenic nano-synthesis includes synthesizing nanotubes or nanostructured materials using biological sources or green technologies, like those containing microbes, plants, and viruses or their by-products, which including proteins and lipids, using multiple biotechnological techniques. Nanocomposites produced by renewable technology are often much greater than those generated by physical and chemical multiaspect methods. Green methods, for example, reduce the usage of expensive additives, consume fewer resources, and manufacture environmentally benign materials and by-products. Green nanobiotechnology is thus a successful alternative route to the development of biocompatible stable nanoparticles. In this study, we present the numerous biogenic metal sulfides, their characterization techniques, and biomedical and environmental technology applications.
