Description: Green nanoparticle synthesis has recently gained popularity due to its sustainability and environmental friendliness. This technology employs natural resources such as plants, fungi, bacteria, and algae to produce nanoparticles with beneficial properties. This study aims to investigate the ecologically friendly production of nanoparticles and their potential use in forensic investigation. Green nanoparticle synthesis methods provide several advantages over standard chemical synthesis processes, including less environmental impact, cheaper costs, and the lack of toxic compounds. Nanoparticles have been successfully manufactured utilizing a wide range of plant extracts, including those obtained from medicinal plants. Furthermore, nanoparticles with enhanced properties have been developed employing microorganisms and their metabolites. Nanoparticles made with environmentally benign technology have shown significant promise in the realm of forensic study. These nanoparticles can be employed in forensic analysis methods such as document authentication, DNA profiling, and fingerprint identification. They are ideal candidates for boosting the sensitivity and selectivity of forensic investigations because of their unique physicochemical properties, which include a large surface area, variable size, and great stability. Furthermore, to enable specialized detection and imaging of Latent fingerprints (forensic evidence), green-synthesized nanoparticles can be functionalized with certain ligands or biomolecules. This paper provides an overview of metal, metal oxide, and fluorescent green nanoparticle manufacturing and their uses in forensic science as latent fingerprint development.
