The data on the specifics of synthesis of elemental silver nanoparticles (SNPs) having the shapes of various geometric shapes (pseudo spherical, prismatic, cubic, trigonal-pyramidal, etc.), obtained by using various plant and animal substrates, and fields of their possible use, have been systematized and generalized. The review covers mainly articles published in the current XXI century.
Key words: silver nanoparticles (SNPs); geometric shape; biosynthesis; plants; animals.
