Abstract: In this study, we demonstrate the green synthesis of bimetallic silver-copper nanoparticles (Ag–Cu NPs) using Aerva lanata plant extract. These NPs possess diverse biological properties, including in vitro antioxidant, antibiofilm, and cytotoxic activities. The synthesis involves the reduction of silver nitrate and copper oxide salts mediated by the plant extract, resulting in the formation of crystalline Ag–Cu NPs with a face-centered cubic structure. Characterization techniques confirm the presence of functi… Show more

“…However, some of these chemical reagents are expensive and pose a risk to the environment. To address these drawbacks and take advantage of the inherent chemical structures of biological systems, green synthesis methods have gained appeal as an alternative to produce silver nanostructures [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. Methods using plant extracts (roots, leaves, stems, fruits), microbial cells (yeasts, bacteria, fungi), or biopolymers as reducing agents have been investigated.…”
