In this present study, we reported broccoli (Brassica oleracea L.) as a potential candidate for the synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles (NPs) in green chemistry method. The synthesized metal nanoparticles are evaluated their antimicrobial efficacy against different human pathogenic organisms. The physico-chemical properties of gold nanoparticles were analyzed using different analytical t...

Different functions were imparted to ramie fibers through treatment with noble metal nanoparticles including silver and gold nanoparticles. The in situ synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles was achieved by heating in the presence of ramie fibers in the corresponding solutions of precursors. The unique optical property of synthesized noble metal nanoparticles, i.e., localized surface plasmo...

biofabrication by using fungi is an exciting recent interest to develop an eco-friendly production of metallic nanoparticles (nps) for pharmaceutical applications. this study aimed to synthesize and characterize gold (au) and silver (ag) nps by using penicillium simplisimum. the fungus was grown in fluid czapek dox broth on shaker at 28 ºc and 200 rpm for ten days. then the supernatant was sepa...

Here we reported the extremely simple one-pot synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles in a rapid manner. Aqueous leaf extract of the most admired energy plant Jatropha curcas is used as reducing agent here. An alternate and safe energy source, house-hold microwave oven constituted the reaction chamber. Silver and gold nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible, FT-IR, Powder XRD techniqu...

Nanoparticles (NPs) of noble metals, namely gold and silver, remain promising anticancer agents capable of enhancing current surgery- and chemotherapeutic-based approaches in cancer treatment. Bimetallic AgAu composition can be used as a more effective agent due to the synergetic effect. Among the physicochemical parameters affecting gold and silver nanoparticle biological activity, a primary c...

The interfacial bonding utilizing Ag2O-derived silver nanoparticles was evaluated using TEM observation and molecular dynamics simulation. The TEM observation reveals that the crystal orientation of the sintered silver corresponded to that of the gold substrate. This is considered that the epitaxial layer of silver was formed through in-situ formation of silver nanoparticles from Ag2O paste, an...

Electron dynamics in gold nanoparticles with an average diameter between 9 and 48 nm have been studied by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Following the plasmon bleach recovery after low power excitation indicates that a non-Fermi electron distribution thermalizes by electron– electron relaxation on a time scale of 500 fs to a Fermi distribution. This effect is only observed at lo...

This study reports the in vitro cytotoxic effect of biologically synthesized silver and gold nanoparticles against MDA-MB-231, human breast cancer cells. Formation of silver and gold nanoparticles was observed within 30 min and the various characterization techniques such as UV-vis spectrophotometer, FE-SEM, TEM and XRD studies were confirmed the synthesis of nanoparticles. Further, MTT, acridi...

recently, the effects of antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles was considered by researcher because of bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents in chemical.the aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the gold nanoparticles on escherichia coli. gold nanoparticles are chemically synthesized. standard strain of e. coli was cultured in a nutrient broth. minimum ...
