BACKGROUND Biosynthesis of nanoparticles using microorganisms, enzymes, and plant extracts is regarded as an alternative to chemical methods. Microalgae appear to be an efficient biological platform for nanoparticle synthesis as they grow rapidly and produce large biomass at lower cost. OBJECTIVES The possibility of silver nanoparticles biosynthesisby freshwater green microalgae, Chlamydomona...

background: investigation of toxicity of silver nanoparticle, especxially blood toxicity, is necessary because this nanoparticle is used a lot in diffrerent parts of life and invironment. the aime of this is evaluation the effects of silver nanoparticles with different concentrations on blood cells pregnant wistar rats. materials and methods: in this case control study, 30 pregnant rat were div...

Although Raney nickel made by dealloying has been used as a heterogeneous catalyst in a variety of organic syntheses for more than 80 years, only recently scientists have begun to realize that dealloying can generate nanoporous alloys with extraordinary structural characteristics. Herein, we achieved successful synthesis of a variety of monodisperse alloy nanoporous nanoparticles via a facile c...

The production of silver nanoparticles was analyzed by preliminary changes of colour from pale yellow to da...

BACKGROUND Development of an environmentally benign process for the synthesis of silver nanomaterials is an important aspect of current nanotechnology research. Among the 600 species of the genus Dioscorea, Dioscorea bulbifera has profound therapeutic applications due to its unique phytochemistry. In this paper, we report on the rapid synthesis of silver nanoparticles by reduction of aqueous Ag...

Chemical syntheses of homogenous solid solution alloy nanoparticles of noble metals require high temperature above 100 °C. Beside this, aqueous co-reduction methods lead to phase separation. In contrast, pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) allows synthesis of alloy nanoparticles with totally homogeneous ultrastructure in aqueous media at room temperature without reducing agents or organic li...

Surfactant capped uniform silver nanoparticles were synthesized by the chemical reduction reaction in a microemulsion media, which is formed under high shear mixing condition. Silver nitrate solution and 2-ethyl hexanol were taken as aqueous and organic phase, sodium borohydride was used as reducing agent and Span-80 (sorbitan monooleate) as the capping agent. Synthesized silver nanoparticles w...

To probe the nature of metal-catalysed processes and to design better metal-based catalysts, atomic scale understanding of catalytic processes is highly desirable. Here we use aberration-corrected environmental transmission electron microscopy to investigate the atomic scale processes of silver-based nanoparticles, which catalyse the oxidation of multi-wall carbon nanotubes. A direct semi-quant...

The metallic nanoparticles have great attention of Chemists, Physists, Biologists and Engineers who wish to use them for development of new generation nanodevices. In this present study silver nanoparticles were synthesized from aqueous silver nitrate (1mM) through a simple and ecofriendly route using leaf broth of Ocimum sanctum as reductant and stabilizer. The aqueous silver ions when exposed...

recently, biosynthesis of nanoparticles has received attention due to an increasing need of developing rapid, simple and ecofriendly protocol. pathogenicity of some of the organisms and lengthy reaction are the drawbacks involved with biosynthesis. we describe a simple protocol for rapid synthesis of silver nanoparticles through biological route using a marine-derived fungus aspergillus niger. ...
