Nanotechnology cogitates manufacturing and exploitation of materials, in which all components arepresent at the nanoscale and their size ranges up to 100 nm. Nanoparticles can be synthesized chemicallyor biologically; nevertheless, biologically synthesized nanoparticles are less toxic to the environmentand human health. Biogenesis of nanoparticles is acquiring momentum due to the use of biocompatibleprecursors’ viz., fungi, algae and various plant extracts. Nanoparticles are being useful in variousbranches of industrial products including energy storage and daily applications namely cosmetics,garments, optical stuff, catalytic, bactericidal, electronics, biological labeling as well as treatment ofcertain cancerous diseases. Due to their mounting applications, it is essential to develop a toxic-freeapproach for the synthesis of nanoparticles and their assemblage to eradicate the use of hazardoussubstances. The broad spectrum of naturally occurring cost effective precursors are available, whichcan be used in biomedicine, biosensors development, organic dyes and in the fabrication of nanodevices,etc. The study has reviewed the prospective of biocompatible organically synthesized nanoparticlesand their cogency in various fields.
