<![CDATA[This review presents a comprehensive survey on the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from silver nitrate precursor using plant extracts along with their characterization and antimicrobial activity assessment. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles through a green chemistry approach is increasingly in demand because it is environmentally friendly, easy to do, and efficient, especially for the purpose of antimicrobial active ingredients in disinfectant and antiseptic formulas. Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles can be carried out using silver nitrate as a silver precursor and plant extracts as a source of bioreductants and capping agents. The synthesis products are then characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy to analyze their size and stability, SEM and TEM to analyze their size, shape, and surface morphology, FTIR to analyze the presence and changes of functional groups and chemical bonds, and XRD to determine the crystal structure. Several other characterization methods can also be used according to the research objectives. The obtained silver nanoparticles have a significant ability to kill bacteria so that they can increase the effectiveness of the performance of disinfectant formulas and antimicrobial formulations made from plant extracts and are more environmentally friendly.]]>
