Abstract
Nanotechnology is advance impetus due to its capacity to transform metals into nano particles. Among the metal nano particles, silver nano particles play a vital role in antimicrobial activity, a very important application known from ancient times. A systemic characterization of synthesized silver nano particles was performed using UV, SEM, TEM, XRD and EDX. In this communication, we report a review on the green method for synthesis of nano particles. 

Key words: Nanotechnology,  Nanoparticle, Metal nanoparticle, Green chemistry, silver nanoparticle, antimicrobial activity.
