The increase in the usage area and amount of metal nanoparticles has led to the emergence of different
approaches in production techniques. The biological methods included in these techniques offer a more
ecological solution. Phytosynthesis is based on the use of plant extracts as biological agents. Water is generally
used as a solvent and phytochemicals in the plant extract are used as reducing agents. Thanks to this, the release
of pollutants that are used in large quantities is prevented and it provides great savings in energy use. In this
method, each plant content is different and provides a different type of particle formation. Furthermore, plant
selection, physical factors such as pH, temperature, reaction time, and light are important in stabilizing the
morphological properties of nanoparticles. The disadvantage of the method is the difficulty in isolating the
particles. This study focuses on the chemical basis of nanomaterial production by phyto nanosynthesis. This
method, it is aimed to give an idea of the biochemical basis to be considered in the mass production processes
of metal nanoparticles, which will be used in engineering fields other than bulk materials. As an example, silver
nanoparticles (AgNP) was produced with lavender extract and characterization analyzes were performed with
UV-Vis, SEM-EDS, and FTIR.
