Smart palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) are of special interest due to their distinctive characteristics and a large unfold of applications. PdNPs are synthesized by the conventional physical and chemical methods. These methods have several drawbacks and thus, biological methods are found to be substitute to the conventional methods. Biological method may be an easy, reliable, non-toxic and eco-friendly for synthesis of smart nanomaterials. Bacterial cells and plant materials are widely used as potential reducing agents for PdNPs synthesis. However, molecular mechanisms concerned in PdNPs synthesis don’t seem to be well understood and special efforts are needed more.
