Abstract:Deep eutectic solvent DES-based grape pomace extracts (GPE) were used to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for the first time. This paper presents a synthesis of AgNPs by a novel method with GPE obtained by an eco-friendly “green” solvent, namely, betaine-lactic acid and proline-lactic acid DESs. Compared with the water-based GPE, the DES-based grape pomace extracts contain lower reducing powers but additionally act as capping agent, which is the more important property for the creation of necessary part… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
