In situ biosynthesis of palladium nanoparticles on banana leaves extract-coated graphitic carbon nitride: An efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for organic transformations and antimicrobial agent

Biogenic Silver Nanoparticles/Mg-Al Layered Double Hydroxides with Peroxidase-like Activity for Mercury Detection and Antibacterial Activity

“…The greener approach in the synthesis and dispersion of the Ag NPs, and the presence of various phytochemicals synergistically boosted the antibacterial property without the worry of toxicity. When the Ag NPs interacted with the bacterial cell wall, rupturing could occur, interfering with cell function and ultimately causing the death of the bacteria [4].…”

“…Since then, extensive research on nanoparticles (NPs) has been conducted and has achieved great demand in this field of research. The NPs are an excellent replacement for traditional bulk materials because of the high surface-to-volume ratio, which drastically increases their catalytic efficiency [3,4]. Thus, scientific endeavors in the synthesis of metal NPs have boomed in recent times [3,5,6].…”

“…This study relates to the prevention of bacterial growth and the formation of colonies, and sometimes even the death of harmful microorganisms. In recent times, bacterial infections have become a vital problem as the resistance of bacteria toward antibiotics has produced major concern [4,36]. The LDHs are well-known for being suitable functional materials and act differently depending on the type and function of the intercalated or included species.…”

Electrochemical Determination of Cyclobenzaprine Hydrochloride Muscle Relaxant Using Novel S-GCN/TiO2-Based Carbon Electrode

“…The occurrence of the peak observed at an angle of approximately 27° (002) in the XRD pattern was attributed to the arrangement of layers in a conjugated aromatic system. Conversely, the peak observed at an angle of approximately 13° (100) was associated with the structural arrangement inside the plane, specifically related to tri- s -triazine . The diffraction pattern of S-GCN exhibited distinct peaks that corresponded to specific characteristics.…”

Facile access to 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles and 2,3-dihydro-1H-perimidines using a biogenically synthesized single phase δ-MnO2 NP catalyst and its dye removal study

“…Based on our recent findings in this direction and with the help of literature precedents, 12,13 we propose that the phytochemicals/active chemical constituents present in the aqueous extract of Pongamia pinnata leaves were believed to act as reducing agents for Mn( vii ) to Mn( iv ) reduction and therefore act as stabilizing agents (see ESI,† for the GC–MS chromatogram). Along these lines, as an initial part of current work, we propose a biogenic approach to synthesize single-phase δ -MnO 2 NPs at room temperature.…”
