I am working on the green synthesis of NPs from medicinal plants. So, what do you think which solvent is most suitable for the storage of NPs to remain stable for both stability and usage in biological applications?. Your suggestions will be appreciated.
It depend on the type of metal. You can store Au and Ag for several months. Copper oxidized very quickly. However, the oxide nanoparticles could be store even longer.
I have do the AgNPs store up till 4 months as below

It depends on the solvent. Though if you want them in aqueous dispersion it is the interaction between the solvent and the surface of nanoparticles what matters. It is not only a mater of selecting a solvent.
As a said before it depends on what is on the surface of the nanoparticles. Steric stabilization with polyethyleneglycol is the best option to have an aqueous dispersion. Again it is not a matter of simply selecting a solvent.
