Abstract

In the domain of material science, a wide range of materials, such as nanomaterials, hybrid materials, and bio-inspired materials, are synthesized extensively using biological molecules derived from plants to form a truly reliable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly protocol. Plant-based nanoparticle synthesis is considered to be effective because of the diversity of plant nature and easy availability. The impact of toxic metal ions in water is a serious global problem because of their human and environmental toxicity. Removal of heavy metal ions in water is a complex process. Adsorption is popular with existing methods because of its economic feasibility. The production of nanomaterials from plants, including carbon, zero-valent metals, metal oxides, and nanocomposites, as well as their applications to remove heavy metal ions from wastewater, were systematically reviewed. We compared, discussed the efficiency, limitations, and benefits of plant-based nanoparticles for heavy metals removal. In addition, there was discussion about the perspective of heavy metals removal by plant-based nanomaterials and potential guidance for future work.
