Nowadays, nanotechnologies are well established and the uses of a great variety of nanomaterials show exponential growth. The development of green synthesis procedures experienced a great development thanks to the contribution of researchers of diverse origins. The versatility of green chemistry allows producing a wide range of organic and inorganic nanomaterials with numerous promising applications. In all cases, it is of paramount importance to carefully characterize the resulting nanomaterials because their properties will determine their correct performance to accomplish the function to which they were synthesized or even their detrimental effects like nanotoxicological behavior. This review provides an overview of frequently employed characterization methods and their applications for green synthesized nanomaterials. However, while several different nanoscale materials and their associated green construction methodology are being developed, other important techniques would be extensively incorporated into this field soon. The aim is to encourage researchers in the field to employ a variety of these techniques for achieving an exhaustive characterization of new nanomaterials and for contributing to the development of validated green synthesis procedures.
如今，纳米技术已经成熟，各种纳米材料的应用呈指数级增长。由于来自不同背景的研究人员的贡献，绿色合成方法的发展取得了巨大的进步。绿色化学的多功能性允许生产广泛的有机和无机纳米材料，具有许多有前途的应用。在所有情况下，仔细表征所得到的纳米材料都至关重要，因为它们的性质将决定它们正确的性能，以完成它们被合成的功能，甚至它们的有害影响，如纳米毒理学行为。这篇综述概述了经常使用的表征方法及其在绿色合成纳米材料中的应用。然而，虽然正在开发几种不同的纳米级材料及其相关的绿色构建方法，但其他重要技术很快也将广泛应用于该领域。目的是鼓励该领域的研究人员采用多种这些技术，以实现对新纳米材料的详尽表征，并为开发经过验证的绿色合成方法做出贡献。
