The silver (Ag) metal is considered a very useful metal for treating consume wound diseases, open wounds, and cuts, respectively. Nowadays, nanotechnology has created a surprising effect by changing over metallic silver into silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for better applications. However, according to advanced technology, the synthesis of nanoparticles occurs by using organic or biological techniques rather than physical and chemical techniques. Also, the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using biological or organic sources is cost-effective and eco-friendly. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are broadly used as antibacterial specialists, helping us cure novel diseases and questionable sicknesses. In biomedicine, silver nanoparticles have huge points of interest because of their physical and synthetic flexibility. The uses of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in nano-gels, nano-fluids, silver-based coating over food and medical devices are advancing. Still, there is a need to innovate a better version of silver nanoparticles for vigorous use in an eco-friendly way. So, this review describes the methods of synthesis, activities under various conditions, and different biomedical uses of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in detail.
