Silver and gold nanoparticles from Sargentodoxa cuneata: synthesis, characterization and antileishmanial activity
Aftab Ahmad,Fatima Syed,Akram Shah,Zahid Hussain Khan,Kamran Tahir,Arif Ullah Khan,Qipeng Yuan +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Sargentodoxa cuneata was used to reduce and stabilize the silver and gold ions into metallic nanoparticles, and the synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy (surface plasmon resonance), X-ray diffraction analysis (crystallinity), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (size and morphology), energy dispersive X -ray (elemental composition) and FTIR (surface functionalities).
