Abstract:In this study, silver nanostructures (AgNS) were obtained using aqueous extracts of Elecampane (Inula Viscosa) and Blueberry (Vaccinium Arctostaphylos Arctostaphylos). The synthesized AgNSs were characterized using UV-visible spectrophotometers (UV-vis), Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDX), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The optimization studies revealed th… Show more
