Green synthesis is a simple, low-cost, non-toxic, environmentally friendly and efficient approach touse. Leaf extract of plants rich in polyphenols, such as flavonoids, is a powerful agent in reducing thesynthesis of gold nanoparticles. The purpose of this study is to investigate the parameters affecting thebiosynthesis of gold nanoparticles using the aqueous extract of Scroph...
