Abstract
In the recent years, the synthesis of metal nanoparticles has received much attention due to its wide range of applications in various fields. Among metallic nanoparticles, iron and iron oxide nanoparticles have attracted much attention of researches due to their unique optical, electrical, antibacterial properties and low cost of preparation. Generally, nanoparticles are synthesized through three different kinds of methods; chemical, physical, and biological. Due to its inexpensive and environmentally friendly features, the biological method is more preferable than the other two methods. The present paper reviews the biological methods for the synthesis of iron and iron oxide nanoparticles and also the probable mechanism involved in the synthesis process
