“…It is known that the shape and size of Au nanocrystals have remarkable effects on their properties and applications [7][8][9]. Therefore, many efforts are focused on synthesizing Au nanostructures with different shapes such as rods [8], wires [10], spheres [11], flowers [12], dendrites [13], hollow structures [14], and so on [15,16].…”

Shape and size c ontrol of gold (Au) nanocrystals plays important roles in their catalytic and optical properties. Hierarchical Au nanodendrites were directly electrodeposited on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using L-arginine as a growth-directing agent, while there is no seed, template, or surfactant involved. It was found that the experimental conditions such as the applied potentials, concentrations of HAuCl 4 and L-arginine, and deposition time were essential to the final morphology of the Au deposits. The as-synthesized Au nanocrystals displayed enhanced electrocatalytic activity and improved stability for ethylene glycol (EG) oxidation in acidic media as compared to Au nanoparticles.

The three-dimensional palladium networks and palladium-silver bimetallic alloy networks were synthesized at room temperature on a large scale using a rapid and simple strategy. The results revealed that the morphology of the networks is not affected by the composition. We demonstrated that the as-prepared unsupported networks exhibited excellent electrochemical activity and stability toward ethanol oxidation reaction in alkaline media due to the formation of palladium-silver alloys as well as the porous nanostructures. The results indicate that the well-defined three-dimensional palladium-silver bimetallic alloy networks are promising catalysts for fuel cells.

“…The principle parameters of NPs are ''size, shape, surface characteristics and inner structure'' (Kaddour 2013). The special features and properties of nanoparticles like catalytic property, optical property, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (Yi et al 2013) and chemical strength (Forough and Farhadi 2010) are attributed to high fraction of surface atoms and quantum confinement (Dunn 2004;Feynman 1960;Forough and Farhadi 2010).…”

Green synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles using Cydonia oblong seed extract

The green synthesis of nanoparticles has emerged as a cost-effective and environmentally benign technique. The present study describes the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using a seed extract of Cydonia oblonga. The conditions were optimized by adjusting pH, temperature, time and amount of seed extract. The nanoparticles produced were characterized by different techniques, namely UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy. The formation of Ag-NPs was confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopic analysis. FTIR analysis was performed to identify the biomolecules, which played a key role in the reduction of Ag ? ions. XRD confirmed that the silver nanoparticles possessed face-centered cubic structure. The green chemistry approach has proven that Ag-NPs can be synthesized by using plant extract in which biomolecules effectively act as capping and reducing agent.
