Biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles utilizing marine sponge Acanthella elongata (Dendy, 1905)

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using leaf extract of medicinally potent plant Saraca indica: a novel study

“…Synthesis of nanoparticles from plants is rapid, low-cost, eco-friendly, and a single step method (Inbakandan et al 2010). The green synthesis of nanoparticles using biological extracts is very rapid and cost effective (Ankamwar et al 2005).…”

Microwave Assisted Green Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles Using Bougainvillea glabra Leaf Extract

“…5) exhibits diffraction peaks corresponding to (111), (200), (220) and (311) phases in the 2θ range of 30º-90º. In the XRD pattern, diffraction peaks at angles of 38.29°, 44.81°, 65.125° and 78.303° could be assigned to face-centered cubic (fcc) metallic gold (111), (200), (220) and (311) facets of gold nanocrystals, respectively [11].…”

Bioinspired Magneto-optical Bacteria

“…An alternative approach to traditional synthetic chemistry is the biosynthesis of nanomaterials which employs natural organisms that reduce metal ions into stable nanoparticles. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Moreover, it should be borne in mind that there is ever increasing pressure to develop green, eco-friendly and economically-viable synthetic routes to nanomaterials. This has resulted in researchers turning towards biological organisms for inspiration.…”

“…[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Biosynthesized nanoparticles usually exhibit enhanced stability and afford better control over morphology. Furthermore, bio-based fabrication has been shown to be reproducible and includes the possibility of synthesizing hydrophilic nanoparticles.…”
