Abstract Green synthesis methods, which strengthen the use of environmental friendly materials and methods have become apparent and proceeding environmental sustainability day by day. One such approach involves the synthesis of nanoparticles from agricultural waste like coconut husk, neem leaves, rice husk, wheat husk, sugarcane bagasse and corn cobs etc. These type of agricultural wastes are rich in silica and are often dumped. We can synthesize silica nanoparticles from these agricultural wastes by low cost methods through green synthesis approach and further use these silica nanoparticles in various fields of environmental management. These agricultural wastes can be reused and recycled by nanotechnology. Green synthesis approach is ecofriendly and biocompatible and can produce renewable source of energy. These nanoparticles can be used to reduce environmental pollution.
Nanotechnology has transforming material science, with silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) emphasizes particular attention due to their unique physicochemical properties such as high surface area, thermal stability, and tunable porosity. Conventional methods of synthesis of silica nanoparticles includes the use of toxic chemicals arise concerns for environmental and economic sustainability. As a result, there is a growing demand for greener, more sustainable approaches.
These silica nanoparticles which are synthesized from agricultural waste by green synthesis methods further characterized by different methods like FTIR, BET, XRD,SEM,TEM. From these characteristics we can study the functional group, surface area and their structure and morphology of silica nanoparticles.
