For the last twenty more years, the zero valent iron (ZVI) nanoparticles are being investigated for their application in the water pollution remediation. The search for “green” strategies leads to the advancement in the plant-mediated synthesis of ZVI nanoparticles. In this perspective, this article aims to review the synthesis strategies and stabilization methods for ZVI nanoparticles prepared from plants. The reduction and capping/stabilization of nanoparticles using various plant extracts and their bioactive components have been discussed here. The possibility of some of the plant-based stabilizing materials and their mechanism was also highlighted in this review. A special focus is given to the application of phytogenic ZVI nanoparticles on water pollution remediation (heavy metal removal, nitrate and phosphate removal, pharmaceutical products removal, dye removal, organic compounds removal and antimicrobial activity).

在最近的二十年中，正在研究零价铁（ZVI）纳米粒子在水污染修复中的应用。对“绿色”策略的寻求导致ZVI纳米粒子在植物介导的合成中的发展。从这个角度出发，本文旨在综述植物制备的ZVI纳米粒子的合成策略和稳定方法。本文讨论了使用各种植物提取物及其生物活性成分对纳米颗粒的还原，封端/稳定作用。在这篇综述中还强调了一些植物基稳定材料的可能性及其机理。特别着重于植物性ZVI纳米颗粒在水污染修复（重金属去除，硝酸盐和磷酸盐去除，
