AgNPs [2, 3]. Therefore, AgNPs are used in several biomed￾ical applications as additives and as coating materials for thedevelopment of infection-resistant surfaces or materials [4–7].As we know that a wide variety of AgNP-based product gainsenormous attention but the toxicological and environmentalissues should be the point of concern. In a previous report, theantibacterial effect of picosecond laser-generated AgNPs andtheir toxicity to human cells were investigated. The studyconcluded that the nanoparticles had broad antibacterial effi￾ciency against microbes but with minimal human cell toxicity[8].The conventional method of nanoparticle synthesis in￾volves the use of various chemicals (such as hydrazine, sodi￾um borohydride, aldehydes, and citrates), radiation sources,functional polymers, and many more as a reducing agentwhich not only cause environmental concerns but also involvehigh-cost and excessive use of energy and resources [9–12].Considering all these factors, the research in the last decadehas shifted their focus towards exploring various plant extractsas a potential alternative for the synthesis of metal nanoparti￾cles due to its less toxic nature which makes them safer tohuman [13–15]. Plant extracts comprise various biochemicalssuch as terpenoids, alkaloids, phenolics, aldehydes, proteins,and amino acids, which reduce metal ions to nanoparticles and
