Can Green Be Lean

Bimetallic Nanoparticles as Efficient Catalysts: Facile and Green Microwave Synthesis

This work deals with the development of a green and versatile synthesis of stable mono- and bi-metallic colloids by means of microwave heating and exploiting ecofriendly reagents: water as the solvent, glucose as a mild and non-toxic reducer and polyvinylpirrolidone (PVP) as the chelating agent. Particle size-control, total reaction yield and long-term stability of colloids were achieved with t...

Green Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles

Nanotechnology has emerged as the interdisciplinary science conjugating the basic concept of engineering with the application of biology, chemistry, physics and medical science1. Research in the field of synthesis of nanoparticles has been growing dramatically over the last few decades due to their unusual and highly interesting properties with wide potential applications like antifungal activi...

Green Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles Using Three Medicinal Plant Extracts as Efficient Reducing Agents

The aim of this work is a green synthesis of gold nanoparticles using the aqueous extract of Anthriscus sylvestris, Ferula gummosa, and Achillea eriohora leaf and stems as the reducing agents. The effects of reducing agent concentration in the reaction mixture and temperature on the size of the gold nanotriangles were studied. The nanoparticles were characterized using UV–Vis spectrosco...

Green Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles

Nano-sized ZnO particles of specific morphology were synthesized using the plant leaf extracts of Aloe vera. The structures, morphology, optical properties, surface area and thermal behavior of these fabricated ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Ultravioletvisible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Photoluminescence (PL)/flourescence spectro...
