Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Nelumbonucifera Rhizome extract and investigation of their anti-oxidant and antibacterial activity
Abstract The biosynthesis of nanoparticles has been proposed as a cost effective and environmentally benevolent alternative to chemical and physical methods. In the present study, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has been demonstrated using rhizome extract of Nelumbonucifera reducing aqueous AgNO3 solution. The synthesized nanoparticles have been characterized on the basis of fourier transform…
