In the modern era, inorganic nanoparticles have received profound attention as they possess boundless applications in various fields. Among these, vanadium-based nanoparticles (VNPs) are highly remarkable due to their inherent physiological and biological properties with many therapeutic and other applications, such as drug delivery systems for diseases like cancer, environmental remediation, energy storage, energy conversion, and photocatalysis. Moreover, physically, and chemically synthesized VNPs are very versatile, however, these synthesis routes cause concern to health and the environment due to the highly savage reaction conditions, using highly toxic and harsh chemicals, which compel the researchers to develop an eco-friendly, greener, and sustainable route for synthesis. In this outlook, to avoid the innumerable limitations, a bio approach is used over chemical and physical methods. This present review emphasis on the role of various biological components in the synthesis, especially Phyto-molecules that acts as capping and reducing agent, and solvent system for the nanoparticles synthesis. Furthermore, the influence of various factors on the biogenic synthesized nanoparticles has also been discussed. Finally, potential applications of as-synthesized VNPs, principally as an antimicrobial agent and their role as a nanomedicine, energy applications as a supercapacitor, and photocatalytic agents, have been discussed.
在现代，无机纳米粒子因其在各个领域的广泛应用而受到了深刻的关注。在这些纳米粒子中，基于钒的纳米粒子（VNPs）因其固有的生理和生物学特性而备受瞩目，具有许多治疗和其他应用，例如癌症等疾病的药物输送系统、环境修复、储能、能量转换和光催化。此外，物理和化学合成的 VNPs 非常多样化，但是，由于反应条件非常苛刻，使用剧毒和苛刻的化学物质，这些合成途径对健康和环境造成了关注，这迫使研究人员开发出一种环保、绿色和可持续的合成方法。在这种前景下，为了避免无数的限制，人们在化学和物理方法之外使用了生物方法。本综述重点介绍了各种生物成分在合成中的作用，特别是植物分子作为纳米粒子合成的帽和还原剂，以及溶剂系统。此外，还讨论了各种因素对生物合成纳米粒子的影响。最后，讨论了合成的 VNPs 的潜在应用，主要是作为抗菌剂和它们作为纳米医学的作用、超级电容器的能源应用以及光催化剂。
