Biosynthesis of Bimetallic Ag/Cu₂O Nanocomposites Using Tridax procumbens Leaf Extract

A Green Approach to Synthesize Silver Nanoparticles in Starch-co-Poly(acrylamide) Hydrogels by Tridax procumbens Leaf Extract and Their Antibacterial Activity

“…Leaf extracts were prepared by a green process technique, using the standard procedure described by Prasad et al [39]. Tridax procumbens leaves were collected from Tridax procumbens plants at our university campus in Sri Krishnadevaraya University (Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, India), thoroughly washed with DD water to remove the dust particles, and then dried in sun to remove the residual moisture.…”

Algae-mediated route to biogenic cuprous oxide nanoparticles and spindle-like CaCO3: a comparative study, facile synthesis, and biological properties

“…13,14 Cu 2 O crystals with different morphologies have been prepared by chemical reduction approaches in which Cu 2+ ions convert to Cu + with a reducing agent and several successful methods have been reported for the production of Cu 2 O. [15][16][17][18] Some papers have reported the green and convenient biosynthesis of different metal oxide nanoparticles such as Fe 3 O 4 , 19 CuO, 20 TiO 2 , 21 ZnO, 22 Cu 2 O/CuO 23 and Ag/Cu 2 O, 24 which were produced using natural products. However, up to now, there are relatively few reports on the bio-preparation and algaemediated selective biosynthesis of nanocrystalline Cu 2 O compared with some other metal-based nanoparticles.…”
