Abstract

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are renowned for their unique optical, electronic, and biocompatible properties, making them ideal for applications in drug delivery, diagnostics, imaging, and materials science. With green chemistry-based biological synthesis methods gaining popularity, eco-friendly alternatives to traditional chemical and physical methods techniques have emerged. Plant extract-derived AuNPs stand out for their remarkable medicinal properties, stability, and low reactivity, enhancing their biological applicability. This review explores the different synthesis methodschemical, physical, and biologicalhighlighting their advantages and challenges. We summarize the latest research (Updated until March, 2025), focusing on the most recent developments in the synthesis and multifield application of AuNPs, offering a comprehensive perspective on their potential.
