Evaluation of antibacterial activity, in-vitro cytotoxicity and catalytic activity of biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles using leaf extracts of Leea macrophylla

Preparation of stable Fe2O3/Ag nanocomposite particles with catalytic, antioxidant and antibacterial properties

“…The hydroxyl group's role in the creation and stability of iron oxide and the iron oxide/silver nanocomposite is responsible for the diminished O-H stretching vibrations. 56 For the Fe-O group vibration, an intense peak at wave number 546 cm À1 may have formed. The Ag-O may be represented as the shoulder peak in the IO/Ag FTIR spectrum at 417 cm À1 .…”

“…According to the earlier work, the presence of silver nanoparticles on the surface of the IO/Ag composite particles might account for this rapid deterioration. 56…”

Optimization of green silver nanoparticles as nanofungicides for management of rice bakanae disease

“…Recently, plant extract-mediated silver nanoparticles (PEM-AgNPs), particularly nanofungicides, have been considered the best option for agricultural applications in the management of phytopathogenic microorganisms because of their advantages over other biological entities, such as faster synthesis of nanoparticles, simple and enhanced antifungal activities, cost-effectiveness, relatively easy scale-up, and eco-friendliness [ 3 , 4 ] . Various structurally and functionally diverse secondary metabolites naturally present in different parts of plants can act as reducing agents to convert Ag + ions into AgNPs, facilitate their stabilization, improve physicochemical and biological properties, and reduce toxicity [ [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] ]. Another striking feature of AgNPs is that pathogenic microorganisms do not become resistant [ 9 ], which has led to AgNPs being considered potentially ideal fungicides for practical applications.…”
