Facile synthesis of size-tunable gold nanoparticles by pomegranate (Punica granatum) leaf extract: Applications in arsenate sensing

Time-dependent growth of crystalline Au0-nanoparticles in cyanobacteria as self-reproducing bioreactors: 2. Anabaena cylindrica

“…Later they may be excreted from the cell [ 23 ]. For further use the nanoparticles have to be separated from all the unavoidable molecules present in living organisms, like the biological capping and reducing ligands, e.g., enzymes, chlorophylls, peptides or polyphenols [ 10 , 24 ]. This task is typically quite challenging.…”

Carbon dot reduced bimetallic nanoparticles: size and surface plasmon resonance tunability for enhanced catalytic applications

“…This scenario impelled researchers to shi toward simple, environmentally-friendly, and cost-effective approaches for synthesizing various MNPs, including consideration of phytochemicals found in plant and fruit extracts as the reducing and stabilizing agents. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] For example, Nadagouda et al presented a greener synthetic approach for generating both Au and Ag NPs using blackberry, blueberry, pomegranate, and turmeric extracts, taking advantage of the electron donating capabilities of the antioxidants present in the extracts. 18 Use of these greener reducing agents has also recently been extended to the formation of bimetallic AuAg NPs.…”

Synthesis of Ziziphus spina-christi (Jujube) Root Methanol Extract Loaded Functionalized Silver Nanoparticle (ZS-Ag-NPs); Physiochemical Characterization and Effect of ZS-Ag-NPs on Adipocyte Maturation, Adipokine and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Interaction

“…Phenolics play significant roles in the reduction and stabilization of synthesized metal nanoparticles. They mediate redox reactions by donating electrons to form quinones [58,59]. Rao et al [59] have reported on the synthesis of gold nanoparticles using the leaf extract of Cacumen platycladi and suggested the involvement of flavonoids and reducing sugars as the reducing and capping agents.…”
