“…These NPs with the relatively large value of band gap energy can be supplementary utilized in improved optoelectronic devices, thermal applications, batteries, and sensors as a semiconductor material. The corresponding band gap result is similar to the previously reported studies, and this value might be a result of the quantum confinement effect [ 84 , 85 , 86 ].…”

Silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized through an easy, inexpensive, and ecofriendly method. Petroselinum crispum, parsley, leaf extract was utilized as a reducing, capping, and stabilizing agent, without using any hazardous chemical materials, for producing Ag NPs. The biosynthesized Ag NPs were characterized using different characterization techniques, namely UV-Vis, FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscope (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis to investigate the optical, thermal, structural, morphological, and chemical properties of the plant extract and the biosynthesized Ag NPs. After that, the biosynthesized Ag NPs were utilized in harvesting sunlight for solar thermal generation. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for the green synthesized Ag NPs with the dark color were adjusted at nearly 450 nm. Once the Ag NPs are excited at the SPR, a large amount of heat is released, which causes a change in the local refractive index surrounding the Ag NPs. The released heat from the Ag NPs under the solar irradiation at the precise wavelength of plasmon resonance significantly increased the temperature of the aqueous medium. Different percentages of Ag NPs were dispersed in water and then exposed to the sunlight to monitor the temperature of the suspension. It was found that the temperature of the aqueous medium reached its highest point when 0.3 wt. % of Ag NPs was utilized. This investigation is rare and unique, and it shows that utilizing a small amount of the biosynthesized Ag NPs can increase the temperature of the aqueous medium remarkably.

“…In our case, the band gap for Au@AgNPs, AuNPs, and AgNPs is 1.93 eV, 2.03 eV, and 2.33 eV, respectively. This means that these materials are considered like semiconductors, and this feature was obtained for the quantum confinement effects that produce an increased energy gap, so nanomaterials can be used as sensors, batteries, and optoelectronic devices [ 64 ].…”

“…The optical band gap E g was calculated for AgNPs, AuNPs, Ag@AuNPs, using Tauc equation determine a bandgap in materials by the following relationship: where is the absorption coefficient of the material ( = 2.303 A / d where A is absorbance and d is the width of the cell) and where E g is the optical energy band gap and hʋ is the photon energy obtained by drawing a line between ( αhʋ ) n and photon energy hʋ . The index number n is taken as 2 for the allowed direct band to band transitions in samples [ 63 ] and can be readily evaluated with a linear fit plot [ 64 ]. Depends upon the type of the transition which may have values 1/2, 2, 3/2, and 3 correspond to the allowed direct, allowed indirect, forbidden direct, and forbidden indirect transitions, respectively [ 65 ].…”

In this work, we used a sequential method of synthesis for gold–silver bimetallic nanoparticles with core@shell structure (Au@AgNPs). Rumex hymenosepalus root extract (Rh), which presents high content in catechins and stilbenes, was used as reductor agent in nanoparticles synthesis. Size distribution obtained by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) gives a mean diameter of 36 ± 11 nm for Au@AgNPs, 24 ± 4 nm for gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and 13 ± 3 nm for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The geometrical shapes of NPs were principally quasi-spherical. The thickness of the silver shell over AuNPs is around 6 nm and covered by active biomolecules onto the surface. Nanoparticles characterization included high angle annular dark field images (HAADF) recorded with a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), UV–Vis Spectroscopy, Zeta Potential, and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) show that nanoparticles are stabilized by extract molecules. A growth kinetics study was performed using the Gompertz model for microorganisms exposed to nanomaterials. The results indicate that AgNPs and Au@AgNPs affect the lag phase and growth rate of Escherichia coli and Candida albicans in a dose-dependent manner, with a better response for Au@AgNPs

BACKGROUND: A biomimetic method was developed for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Synthetic chemical compounds were used according to the metabolites present in the fungal extracts for the synthesis of AgNPs. The main objective of this study was to find a simple and effective synthesis method without the presence of a living organism. METHODOLOGY: A central composite design combined with response surface methodology was used to optimize the necessary metabolite concentrations (flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), hydroquinone (HQ), and L-cysteine (L-cys)) for the synthesis of AgNPs. The design was assessed based on the size distribution and zeta potential of the nanoparticles. In addition, the antibacterial activity of the AgNPs against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Serratia marcescens and Salmonella enterica was tested. RESULTS:The results demonstrated that AgNO 3 (2 mmol L −1 ), HQ (20 mmol L −1 ), L-cys (20 mmol L −1 ) and FAD (50.5 nmol L −1 ) at pH 8.4 were the optimal reaction parameters. The characterization allowed the determination of quasi-spherical AgNPs with an average hydrodynamic size of 101 nm, a zeta potential of −24 mV and the presence of elemental silver (Ag 0 ) in their composition. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed silver and L-cys interactions, supporting the role of L-cys as a coating agent. The antibacterial activity showed that AgNPs displayed a minimum inhibitory concentration of 20-30 ∼g mL −1 and a minimum bactericidal concentration of 30-40 ∼g mL −1 .CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the feasibility of the reduction of Ag + to Ag 0 using synthetic metabolites, which mimic the reduction and synthesis of fungal biomass. Therefore, it represents a new biocompatible, eco-friendly and fast method to produce AgNPs.
