Bibliometric Analysis on Green Synthesis of Nanoparticles Using Leaf Extract Based on the Scopus Database

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the development of scientific publications related to green synthesis using leaf extract through a bibliometric approach with data sources from the Scopus database. The data analyzed included 64 articles published between 2015 and 2024. The analysis was carried out with the help of VOSviewer software to map network visualization, overlay, and density of the most frequently used keywords. The results show that the number of publications has increased although it is fluctuating, with the peak of publications occurring in 2024. India is the country with the highest contribution, both in terms of number of articles, institutions, and authors. The keyword green synthesis has a higher frequency and link strength than leaf extract, indicating that this topic is broader in scope and taking center stage in sustainability research. Overall, this analysis provides a comprehensive overview of trends, scientific collaborations, and research development directions in the field of leaf extract-based green synthesis.
