There is a great interest in the development of green protocols to avoid environmental and health hazards. In this research, the eco-friendly and cost-effective synthesis of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) has been achieved by the green method using ethanolic turmeric crude extract at pH 7. The bioac-tive compounds of turmeric crude extract are responsible for the reduction, capping and sta-bility of the GNPs. The characterization of GNPs was carried out by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. The UV-vis spectral study indicated the formation of GNPs with a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band at 547 nm. FTIR analysis of turmeric crude extract and GNPs showed that phenolic groups reduced the gold ions. The FESEM analysis showed the polydisperse morphology of GNPs with average size of 26.6 nm±7.4 nm. The elemental composition determined by EDX re-vealed the presence of gold. The synthesized GNPs can be useful in a variety of applications involving medicine, cosmetics, environment and nutraceutical.

This study reports a green method for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using the aqueous extract of Salix aegyptiaca extract. The effects of gold salt concentration, extract concentration and extract quantity were investigated on nanoparticles synthesis. Novel methods of ideally synthesizing AuNPs are thus thought that are formed at ambient temperatures, neutral pH, low costs and environmentally friendly fashion. AuNPs were characterized with different techniques such as UV–vis spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and TEM. FT-IR spectroscopy revealed that gold nanoparticles were functionalized with biomolecules that have primary carbonyl group, -OH groups and other stabilizing functional groups. TEM experiments showed that these nanoparticles are formed with various shapes and X-ray diffraction pattern showed high purity and face centered cubic structure of AuNPs. For electrochemical properties of AuNPs, a modified glassy carbon electrode using AuNPs (AuNPs/GCE) was investigated. The results show that electronic transmission rate between the modified electrode and [Fe (CN)6]3-/4- increased.

Nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) were successfully prepared by using phyto assisted solution immersion process. ZnO were grown on a glass substrate coated with ZnO nanoparticle thin-film as seed layer at annealing temperature of 450°C. The fabricated nanostructured ZnO exhibit absorption at ∼375 nm as revealed from the UV-visible absorption spectrum, and it is comparable with ZnO nanostructured synthesized from hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA). X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement revealed a sharp peak corresponding to the hexagonal wurtzite structure of nanostructured ZnO. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) showed average size of ZnO at 24.15 nm slightly smaller compared to synthesized from HMTA; 30.54 nm. It should also be highlighted that the needs of using this alternative green method are due to the advantages of low working temperature and cost-effective, and with the least possible damage to the environment.

Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) supported on nanoporous anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) membrane has been successfully prepared by direct anionic exchange for further application in catalysis. The nanoporous AAO membrane is immersed in HAuCl4 solution at different pH to achieve gold nanoparticles grafted on AAO (Au-AAO). It was found that the pH of the HAuCl4 solution played an important role for controlling the size of Au NPs as well as the amount of Au depositing on the surface of AAO membrane. The prepared Au-AAO membranes were characterized by diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy, high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectroscopy.

The synthesis of spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by the chemical reduction process and the characterization of the synthesized nanoparticles is the main aim of this article. Reduction of Chloroauric acid by trisodium citrate salt was performed to get AuNPs of average diameter 20nm. Trisodium citrate is not only the reducing reagent but also the stabilizer of the synthesized AuNPs. Some important modern techniques like UV-VIS spectroscopy, diffraction light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and electron diffraction X-ray (EDX) were involved for the characterization of synthesized AuNPs. Chemical reduction and Size-controlled growth of spherical AuNPs were followed for this particular synthesis of AuNPs.

Recent advancements in nanotechnology, for the biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles through enormous techniques, showed multidimensional developments. One among many facets of nanotechnology is to procure and adopt new advancements for green technology over chemical reduction synthesis. This adaptation for acquiring green nanotechnology leads us to a new dimension of nanobiotechnology. In order to imply one such efforts, in this study the emphasis is being laid on the synthesis of MgO nanoparticles using green technology and eliminating chemical reduction methods. Different characterization techniques such as UV–Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and dynamic light scattering were used to carry out the experiments. The average size of MgO nanoparticles were obtained in the range of 85–95 nm, when synthesized by various sources. The extracts of plants were capable of producing MgO nanoparticles efficiently and exhibited good results during cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy study. The electrode modified with MgO nanoparticles (plant extract) showed good stability (90 days) and high conductivity. This study reports cost-effective and environment-friendly method for synthesis of MgO nanoparticles using plant extracts. The process is rapid, simple, and convenient and can be used as an alternative to chemical method.

A green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was conducted using the stem extract of Piper chaba, which is a plant abundantly growing in South and Southeast Asia. The synthesis was carried out at different reaction conditions, i.e., reaction temperature, concentrations of the extract and silver nitrate, reaction time, and pH. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized by visual observation, ultraviolet–visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive x-ray (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The characterization results revealed that AgNPs were uniformly dispersed and exhibited a moderate size distribution. They were mostly spherical crystals with face-centered cubic structures and an average size of 19 nm. The FTIR spectroscopy and DLS analysis indicated that the phytochemicals capping the surface of AgNPs stabilize the dispersion through anionic repulsion. The synthesized AgNPs effectively catalyzed the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and degradation of methylene blue (MB) in the presence of sodium borohydride.

Abstract In this study, hydroxyapatites reinforced with Boron, Copper and Zinc at different rates were produced using the sol-gel method. Different amounts of metal during the production of hydroxyapatite were used to observe the amount of crystallization and morphological differences in their structures. The characterization of the metal-doped HAp was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The data indicated that the Ca/P stoichiometric ratios of the samples varied between 1.71 and 2, so their morphologies were different from each other. The absorption behavior of novel metal-doped HAp samples was evaluated at room temperature by UV-vis spectroscopy. In the absorption spectra of the samples, absorption bands formed in similar regions. In addition, the thermal behavior of HAp samples was investigated using TG/DTA techniques. The results of the analysis showed that heat resistance of the new synthesized samples was quite high.
