Abstract: Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field with a wide range of applications in
several fields of technology and research. Nanoparticles are synthesized using a variety of

processes due to their wide range of applications. Chemical contamination during the synthesis
procedures, as well as later applications and the usage of higher energy, are some of the limits

of traditional chemical approaches. Over the last decade, research has focused on developing

easy, clean, non-toxic, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly nanoparticle production
procedures. Biosynthesis approaches have been developed to fill this gap in order to achieve

this goal. The biosynthesis of nanoparticles is a straightforward, one-step, environmentally
friendly, and green process. Biological agents such as metabolic processes convert dissolved

metal ions to nano metals. Plant tissues, fungi, bacteria, and other biological agents are utilized
in the manufacture of noble metal nanoparticles. We presented a brief perspective on the

biosynthesis of noble metal nanoparticles by using different sources of biogenic reducing

agents, and their applications and challenges will also be discussed.

Keywords: biosynthesis, noble metallic nanoparticles, applications, challenges
