Abstract This manuscript relates, for the first time, palladium nanoparticle production by bio-reduction using an Ilex paraguariensis aqueous extract. The solid obtained, PdISM, was used as a catalyst in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling, composing new eco-friendly, ligand-free, and low cost catalytic system. Excellent yields were obtained coupling of aryl iodides bromides with phenylboronic acid. ...

Abstract Malathion is widely used in agriculture due to their high efficiency as insecticides. They are very toxic hazardous chemicals both human health and environment even at low concentration. The detection of pesticides (malathion) the levels developed by environmental protection agency (EPA) still remains a challenge. A highly efficient fluorescent biosensor based on g-C 3 N 4 /AgNPs for A...

The self-assembly of nanoparticles on living bio-templates is a promising synthetic methodology adopted for synthesizing nano/microstructures with high efficiency. Therefore, the method bio-templating offers various advantages in controlling geometries nano/microstructures, thereby increasing efficiency synthesized material towards functional applications. Herein, we utilized filamentous fungus...

Characterization and the antibacterial potential of gold (AuNPs) and silver nanoparticle (SNPs) biosynthesized greenly using exopolysaccharides (EPS) and Culture Free Supernatant (CFS) of Wesiella confusa against some multidrug resistance (MDR) E. coli was investigated. The biosynthesized nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectra, Fourier Transfor...

The bio-synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using aqueous leaf extract Pisonia grandis is discussed in this work as an effective ecologically beneficial and straightforward method. This strategy intends to increase ZnO nanoparticle usage the biomedical environmental sectors, while reducing particle hazardous chemicals synthesis. In current study, bio-augmented nanomaterials (ZnO-NPs...
