In the present article, an effective, one-step, and environmentally benign protocol for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles has been discussed. The black cardamom extract is used as a reducing agent for HAuCl4.3H2O. In order to synthesize gold nanoparticles, an aqueous solution of HAuCl4.3H2O was mixed with an optimized concentration of black cardamom extract where 1,8-cineole is the dominant c...

The current study manifested that the aqueous flower extract of Peltophorum pterocarpum contain bioactive compounds, is found to be responsible for bioreduction during the synthesis of silver nanoparticles The synthesis of silver nanoparticles occurred under the exposure of the flower extract to 1mM silver nitrate aqueous solution .During this process the complete reduction was observed nearly ...

BACKGROUND The adsorption process by metal oxide nanoparticles has been investigated an effective agent for removing organic and inorganic contaminants from water and wastewater. In this study, iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized in the presence of tangerine peel extract as adsorbent for cadmium ions removal from contaminated solution. Iron oxide nanoparticles prepared by co-precipitation...

Nowadays plant mediated synthesis of nanoparticles has great interest and achievement due to its eco-benign and low time consuming properties. In this study silver nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by using Morinda tinctoria leaf extract under different pH. The aqueous leaf extract was added to silver nitrate solution; the color of the reaction medium was changed from pale yellow to b...

Nanoparticles bio production, considering their performance in medicine and biologicalscience, is increasing; also, raising awareness of green chemistry and bioprocesses hasencouraged the use of environmentally friendly methods for the production of non-toxicnanomaterials.. Also uses of plant extracts are found to be more advantageous over chemical,physical and microbial (bacterial, fungal, alg...

Controllable silver nanoparticles were developed by a green approach using extracts of both leaves and bark of Limonia acidissima tree. Due to the presence of phytochemical compounds in L. acidissima leaves and bark; such as saponins, phenolic compounds, phytosterols, and quinines present in extracts act as reductants, hence the silver nanoparticles were easily produced under mild conditions. T...

There is an increasing commercial demand for nanoparticles due to their wide applicability in various areas such as electronics, catalysis, chemistry, energy, and medicine. Metallic nanoparticles are traditionally synthesized by wet chemical techniques, where the chemicals used are quite often toxic and flammable. In this work, we describe a cost effective and environment friendly technique for...

Cassia fistula stem bark was used for the preparation of aqueous extract and synthesis of gold nanoparticles to evaluate the hypoglycemic effects of the plant. The synthesized gold nanoparticles were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy for their absorbance pattern, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to identify possible functional groups, and scanning electron microscopy to d...

The present work demonstrated a green approach of synthesis of gold nanoparticles using Eupatorium odoratum leaf extract as reducing and stabilizing agent assisted with microwave irradiation. Effects of various concentrations of leaf extract on the preparation of gold nanoparticles have been investigated and it was monitored by undertaking UV-vis spectroscopic studies.
