Abstract Green-synthesized nanoparticles have emerged as a viable alternative to traditionally synthesized nanoparticles, providing environmentally sustainable, biocompatible, and economical solutions across multiple sectors. This paper thoroughly examines current breakthroughs in the production of green nanoparticles, highlighting its medicinal, pharmacological, environmental, and agricultural uses. The shift from chemical and physical nanoparticle manufacturing to biological approaches including plants, microbes, and algae has reduced hazardous byproducts and enhanced stability and functional adaptability. Green-synthesized metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, including silver, gold, copper, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide, have remarkable antibacterial, anticancer, and pollutant degradation properties. These nanoparticles are utilized in medicine delivery, photothermal therapy, wastewater treatment, and agricultural enhancement, establishing them as revolutionary materials for sustainable development. Notwithstanding their benefits, issues concerning synthesis scalability, batch-to-batch repeatability, and regulatory compliance continue to pose considerable obstacles to commercialization. Advanced characterisation approaches, computational modelling, and artificial intelligence-driven optimizations are being amalgamated to enhance nanoparticle synthesis processes, augment functionalization tactics, and guarantee safety evaluations. Prospects encompass hybrid green synthesis methods, genetically modified biosynthetic pathways, and biodegradable nanomaterials to improve efficiency and sustainability. This analysis emphasizes the pivotal importance of green nanotechnology in tackling urgent global issues in healthcare, environmental remediation, and energy conservation. By promoting interdisciplinary cooperation and standardizing synthesis techniques, green-synthesized nanoparticles can transform various industries while ensuring environmental sustainability and technical advancement. Ongoing research and innovation in this domain will be crucial for attaining widespread acceptance and commercial feasibility of green nanotechnology-based solutions.
