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. The experimental results showed […]
The advantage of using plants and plant metabolites over expansive and toxic chemical methods for nanoparticles (NPs) synthesis has fascinated researchers to investigate the mechanisms of bio-reduction of metal ion for various biomedical applications. Herein, pineapple leaf extract was used for the synthesis of silver (Ag) and bimetallic silver-gold (Ag-Au) core-shell NPs which offered an […]
Bactericidal effect of copper oxide is still a growing area of research even though a lot of experiments have been carried out by the researchers. The present work was designed to explore structural and optical properties of micro-size copper oxide particles (µCuO) synthesized using microwave irradiation. Synthesized samples were characterized with ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform […]
