Abstract The industrialization and intense agricultural activities lead to the threat for environment and human health for both developing and developed countries. The remarkable developments in nanotechnology and nanomaterials play an important role for providing their potential benefits in almost every area of society. Nanomaterials of several kinds show diverse advantages in a variety of applications, from everyday goods such as polymers and cosmetics, to specialized technical applications in, for example, electronics, environmental safety systems and biomedicine. Nanomaterials because of there huge surface area and related high reactivity emerged as a new discipline with extensive applications in biology, medicine, pharmacology and remediations of environment pollutants. As a consequence of recent progression in biomedicine and nanotechnology, nanomedicine has emerged rapidly as a new discipline with extensive applications of nanomaterials in biology, medicine, and pharmacology. Among the various nanomaterials, silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) are particularly promising in nanomedicine applications due to their large specific surface area, adjustable pore size, facile surface modification, and excellent biocompatibility. Nanotechnology is found to be one of the crucial future knowledge. This paper reviews the synthesis of SiNPs and their recent usage in drug delivery, biomedical imaging, photodynamic and photothermal therapy, and other applications. In addition, the possible adverse effects of SiNPs in nanomedicine applications are reviewed from reported in vitro and in vivo studies. Finally, the potential opportunities and challenges for the future use of SiNPs are discussed.
