This document discusses various methods for synthesizing silver nanoparticles, including biological and non-biological approaches. Chemical reduction is the most common non-biological method, where a chemical such as sodium citrate or sodium borohydride is used as the reducing agent. Other non-biological methods include photochemical reduction using laser or UV light, and thermal methods involving heat. Biological synthesis can utilize enzymes from plants or microorganisms. While both approaches have advantages, biological methods are generally more environmentally friendly than chemical or photochemical reduction. The size, shape and properties of the nanoparticles depend on factors like temperature, kinetics of the reducing agent, and use of capping agents.
