“…Many of these methods involve the use of harmful, costly and toxic substances and are eco-unfriendly [18]. Now a days emphasis has been given on the biosynthesis of the AgNPs which includes bacteria, fungi, essential oils [19], nucleic acid [20] yeast, algae and plant extract [21]. The latter has been given utmost importance for easily available, low maintenance [22], cost effective, less toxic and environmentally friendly properties [23].…”

Green synthesis of nanoparticles has gained importance due to its eco-friendly, low toxicity and cost effective nature. This study deals with the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from the bark extract of Amentotaxus assamica. The AgNPs have been synthesised by reducing the silver ions into stable AgNPs using the bark extract of Amentotaxus assamica under the influence of sunlight irradiation. The characterisation of the biosynthesised AgNPs was carried out by UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The UV-vis spectrum showed a broad peak at 472 nm. Also, the XRD confirmed the crystalline structure of the AgNPs. Moreover, the SEM analysis revealed that the biosynthesised AgNPs were spherical in shape. Also, dynamic light scattering techniques were used to evaluate the size distribution profile of the biosynthesised AgNPs. Furthermore, the biosynthesised AgNPs showed a prominent inhibitory effect against both Escherichia coli (MTCC 111) and Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 97). Thus the biosynthesis of AgNPs from the bark extract of Amentotaxus assamica is found to eco-friendly way of producing AgNPs compared to chemical method.

“… 15 The antibacterial effects of L. aspera extracts against Vibrio cholerae , Escherichia coli , Salmonella typhi , Klebsiella aerogenes, Staphylococcus aureus , Proteus vulgaris, and Pseudomonas pyocyanea have been shown in previous investigations using an aqueous leaf extract. 16 It is scarce to find research articles on doped copper-based nanocomposites in the literature. In this study, we synthesized the C3Ag5 nanocomposite using the L. aspera leaf extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent and assessed its antibacterial efficacy, photocatalytic activity, and supercapacitance behavior.…”

The cost-effective novel Ag-doped (1–7%) (CuO–Cu2O)Cu (C3) heterostructured nanocomposites are successfully synthesized by the facile solution combustion process using the Leucas aspera extract as a green fuel. The structural properties of fabricated nanocomposites were well-characterized by specific spectral techniques for enhanced electrochemical sensor detection, antibacterial activities, and sunlight-driven photocatalytic dye decoloration studies. The existence of Ag+ ions has been confirmed by the appearance of two peaks of Ag 3d5/2 (367.9 eV) and Ag 3d3/2 (373.9 eV), with the chemical binding nature and exchange of the Ag+ state in the nanocomposite lattice as revealed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. The energy band gap value of the doped nanocomposite decreases from 2.2 to 1.8 eV, as measured by the UV–visible absorption spectral technique, hindering the recombination of electron–holes pairs by trapping e– and h+. This result supports that the C3Ag5 nanocomposite has a great potential as a sunlight photocatalyst toward the Alizarin Red (AR) dye, for which an excellent degradation activity of 98% at 180 min was achieved compared to that of the host nanocomposite (78% at 180 min). The variation of redox peak potentials of the prepared graphite nanocomposite working electrode is an effective tool for paracetamol sensing activity in 0.1 M KCl using electrochemical spectral studies. In addition, the antibacterial activities of the C3Ag5 nanocomposite against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were successfully studied. The C3Ag5 nanocomposite exhibited a better performance than C3. The increase in activity is attributed to the presence of Ag as a dopant.
