Abstract:

Silver nanoparticles(AgNPs)refer to metallic silver materials with at least one dimension in the range of 1-100 nm in the three-dimensional structure,and are used in the fields of electricity,optics,catalysis,mechanical materials and medicine. Compared with traditional chemical and physical synthesis methods,biosynthesis of AgNPs via fungi have attracted the attention of the scientific researchers because of its mild reaction conditions,green and low toxicity,environment-friendly,etc. Firstly,the recent research progress in fungi species for the synthesis of AgNPs is reviewed and the advantages and disadvantages of fungi synthesis of AgNPs sites are summed up. The factors affecting the size,shape and synthesis rate of fungi synthesized AgNPs are discussed. Secondly,the consensus of the synthesis mechanism is summarized. Furthermore,the application of AgNPs in biomedicine,agriculture,catalysts and other fields are introduced. Finally,the future opportunities and challenges on the synthesis of AgNPs by fungi are prospected. It is aimed to provide reference and theoretical support for the further industrial production of AgNPs synthesized by fungi.
