“…In addition, other characteristic peaks were observed in the spectrum of PtNPs, in agreement with our previous reports. 39 , 41 Sharp peaks at 2,140, 1,640, and 1,025 cm-1, associated with C–H stretching, N–O stretching in the nitro group, and C–C stretching, respectively, have been reported. 39 , 53 The presence of almost all the characteristic peaks of PtNPs indicated the stabilization of nanoparticles by lutein due to the coating of biomolecules.…”
