Herein, we reviewed metallic nanomaterials (MNMs), which have gained significant attention due to their unique properties and diverse applications across various fields. However, traditional methods for MNM synthesis often involve toxic chemicals and harsh conditions, raising environmental concerns. However, green synthesis approaches have emerged as promising alternatives. This review explores the various green methods employed for MNM synthesis, including using biological agents like plants, fungi, and bacteria. It further goes deeper into the mechanisms of these methods and discusses the factors influencing the shape, size, and physical properties of the synthesized MNMs. Additionally, the potential applications of green-synthesized MNMs in fields such as catalysis, biomedical sciences, and environmental remediation are discussed. This review aims to examine the synthesis of metallic nanomaterials using green approaches.
