The green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is an active research area in nanotechnology. In the present study, antioxidant potential, total reducing capacity and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) synthetic potential of methanolic leaf extracts of seven plant species were evaluated and compared. Antioxidant capacity, expressed as µmol Trolox equivalents g-1 DW (µmol TE g-1 DW), ranged from 116.0 ...

Nowadays green synthesis of metal nanoparticles is a developing area of research. In this study, titanium dioxide nanoparticles were biosynthesized using an aqueous solution of Echinacea purpurea herba extract as a bioreductant. This is novel and interesting method for synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles. The prepared titanium dioxide nanoparticles were characterized using ultraviolet–visible spect...

Developing reliable and eco-friendly processes for the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is an essential step in the field of application of nanotechnology .Using natural factories such as biological systems is a way of developing such processes. Nowadays, the synthesis of silver nanoparticles is very common due to its numerous applications in different fields. The synthesis of these nanopart...

many reports have been published about the biogenesis of silver nanoparticles using several plant extracts such as pelargonium graveolens (p.graveolens- geranium) and azadirachta indica (neem) but the capacity of their natural reducing constituents to form silver nanoparticles has not yet been studied. in this research the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using geraniol has been investigated. ...

The green synthesis route, in comparison to the conventional chemical and physical procedures, is an easy and eco-friendly alternative to synthesize metallic nanoparticles. Here, we report a cost-effective, clean and fast bio-process to synthesize Ag nanoparticles after reduction of Ag + using apple (Malus domestica) fruit extract. The formation of silver nanoparticles was first examined by UV-...
