“…The leaf extracts from various plants including Solanum trilobatum (Kanchana et al, 2010), Anacardium occidentale (Sheny et al, 2012), Catharanthus roseus (Kalaiselvi et al, 2015) were also utilized for the production of palladium nanoparticles. The catalytic activity of various metallic nanoparticles such as silver (Bindhu and Umadevi, 2015;Kundu, 2013;Narayanan et al, 2013), gold (Maity et al, 2012;Narayanan and Sakthivel, 2011;Praharaj et al, 2004;Sen et al, 2013), palladium (Dauthal and Mukhopadhyay, 2013;Kalaiselvi et al, 2015;Santoshi kumari et al, 2015), platinum (Coccia et al, 2012) and iridium (Kundu and Liang, 2011) was widely studied in reduction of various dyes.…”
