Synthesis of metallic and semiconductor nanoparticles through physical and chemical routes has been extensively reported. However, green synthesized metal nanoparticles are currently in the limelight due to the simplicity, cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness of their synthesis. This study explored the use of aqueous leaf extract of Costus afer in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (CA-Ag...

in the present study, we have reported the biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (agnps) using aqueous leaf extract prepared by hot percolation treatment of wheat varities (pbw343, triticum durum and aegilops tauschii )for the reduction of silver ions to silver nanoparticles. bioreduction of ag+ to ag0 was observed when aqueous extract augmented with silver nitrate (agno3) was incubated ...

A green synthesis of silver nanoparticles was done using a particular plant extract of Limonia acidissima. Silver nanoparticles were synthesised by the bioreduction of silver nitrate using different concentrations of plant extract, and UV–visible spectral analysis was carried out to confirm the formation of silver nanoparticles. The presence of various phytochemicals like flavonoids, steroids, ...

Plant phenolics have high reducing capacity which can be exploited in the synthesis of nanomaterials. In the present study, phytoreductant vanillic acid is used to produce and coat silver nanoparticles. The effects of Ag nanoparticles on the unicellular green algae D. Salina were then investigated. Under optimum  pH and temperature, silver ions were reduced to silver metal by vanillic acid. The...

Their progressive usages in different fields of science besides some predominant restrictions with conventional methods for their synthesis have demanded analysts to discover green courses for their creation. Biologi...

BACKGROUND Gum ghatti is a proteinaceous edible, exudate tree gum of India and is also used in traditional medicine. A facile and ecofriendly green method has been developed for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles from silver nitrate using gum ghatti (Anogeissus latifolia) as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The influence of concentration of gum and reaction time on the synthesis of nanopart...

The purpose of this study was to expand a trouble free biological method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the leaves extract of Rosa ChinensisL. to act as reducing and stabilizing agent. Water soluble phytochemicals played a vital role for the reduction silver ions into silver nanoparticles. The leaves extract was exposed to silver ions and the resultant biosynthesized Ag...

Green synthesis of nanoparticles using plants as sources exhibiting superiority over the physical and chemical methods that are expensive and can involve the use of toxic, hazardous chemicals, which may pose biological and environmental risks. In present study silver nanoparticles were synthesized in single step by biological method using extracts of Actinidia deliciosa paste as reducing and st...
