Abstract

Nanotechnology is starting to the characterization, fabrication, and possible applications of numerous materials at the Nano-scale. Over the last few eras, nanomaterials provide a platform to researchers from diverse arenas due to high surface to volume ratio and other novels, and new significant belongings. Recent advances in the field of science and technology, immensely nanotechnology, have contributed to the diverse applications of metal oxide nanoparticles in various fields, especially the biomedical division. Among all the metallic nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are highly remarkable. Consequent to their significant nature, spherical and gold nanorods (Au NRs) nanoparticles attract greater attention. Gold colloids have fascinated scientists for over a century and are heavily utilized in chemistry, biology, engineering, and medicine. Gold nanoparticles have a rich history in chemistry, dating back to ancient Roman times where they were used to stain glasses for decorative purposes. Gold nanoparticles can be fabricated using different approaches such as chemical, physical, and biological methods. The green route (biological method) is an eco-friendly, cost-effective, reliable, and comfortable and simple way to synthesize gold nanoparticles compared to physical and chemical approaches. This review aims to address the popular AuNPs synthesis methods, characterization, and their antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, and antiviral applications.
