Abstract	Metal nanoparticles (MNPS) with unique and size-related optical properties that differ greatly from those at the bulk and atomic levels are included in the broad area of nanoscience. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) one of the noble MNPS, have special characteristics for metal interaction. Copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) Nanoparticles can be synthesized by using different methods, including chemical, physical, biological and green synthesis techniques. The synthesis of nanoparticles through the use of plants represents biological method that is both environmentally friendly and cost-effective. We produce two types of nanoparticles: one being silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) and the other copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs). The chemical methods of nanoparticles synthesis pose health hazards and environmental risks; the biological method of nanoparticles synthesis is significantly more environmentally friendly and safe for use. Green synthesis, which involves the use of plant extract, bacteria and fungi an eco-friendly approach to nanoparticles production. Controlling the particle size – dependent properties of these nanoparticles enhance their potential application. While silver and gold nanoparticles are wildly studied, copper nanoparticles present a cost- effective alternative with strong antibacterial properties. This review compiles information on the synthesis, properties, stabilizing agent, application of Ag and Cu nanoparticles, their importance in biological and technological fields. Characterization by UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Dynamic light scattering (DLS), etc. copper nanoparticles generally display a surface Plasmon resonance (SPR) peak within the range of 300-800 nm, with notable peaks occurring around 540-570 nm. Silver nanoparticles usually present a peak within the range of 390-470 nm.
