Abstract
This review aims to explore the green synthesis of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles using various species of the genus Artemisia. The synthesis processes commonly involve aqueous or organic extracts of plant parts (e.g., leaves, stems, and roots), which react with metal salt solutions (e.g., AgNO3, Zn(NO3)2, HAuCl4, Cu(NO3)2) under controlled parameters, including pH, temperature, and light exposure. The synthesized nanoparticles are characterized using techniques such as UV–Visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and zeta potential analysis. These approaches provide information on nanoparticle size, morphology, crystallinity, surface chemistry and charge, which are significantly influenced by synthesis parameters and the…
