Microwave-Assisted Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Orange Peel Extract

Abstract

We present data for batch-to-batch variation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized with orange peel extract. These samples were prepared in the CEM microwave for 15 min. The relative standard deviation (as a measure of precision) is provided and is, in most cases, less than 20%.

Microwave-assisted green synthesis of superparamagnetic nanoparticles using fruit peel extracts: surface engineering, <em>T</em>₂ relaxometry, and photodynamic treatment potential

“…Broad absorbance peak may likely result from various capping agents coming from different natural compounds. 10,27,29,42,45 The proceeding reaction could be envisioned via color changes in the resulting colloidal solution. Phytochemicals bound to the surface of bio-SPIONs are rich in hydrophilic hydroxyl groups that allowed the NPs to disperse and distribute homogenously in aqueous media (Table S1).…”

“…Phytochemicals bound to the surface of bio-SPIONs are rich in hydrophilic hydroxyl groups that allowed the NPs to disperse and distribute homogenously in aqueous media (Table S1). [27][28][29][42][43][44][45] The major compounds found in apple peel extract are highly branched alcohols and aldehydes. 27 Several aldehydes and alcohols are also present in lemon and orange peel extracts.…”

“…Natural products such as polysaccharides, polyphenols, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and organic acids from plants are useful in reduction and surface capping of NPs. [26][27][28][29] The principal objective of this work was to develop a simple but efficient route for the synthesis and functionalization of biologically safer SPIONs for biomedical applications. It was hypothesized that the use of MW heating may reduce the reaction time by many orders of magnitude.…”

Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles against Drug-Resistant Escherichia coli Isolated from Potable Water

“…Larger the surface area ensures an increased range of interaction with bio-organic material present on the viable cell surface. These synthesized nanomaterials are designed and engineered for incorporation into consumer products (Diaz, 2012;Kahrilas, 2014). The antimicrobial activities of synthesized nanoparticles for example CuO, ZnO, TiO2, SiO2 etc.…”

Biosynthesis of Copper Oxide nanoparticles from Drypetes sepiaria Leaf extract and their catalytic activity to dye degradation

“…It has so many applications in antimicrobials, ie, silver compounds have been used to treat burns, wound infections [13].Various salts of silver and their derivatives are used as antimicrobial agents [14,15]. Also Ag nanoparticles show antibiotic activity, used in synthesising its composites for development of disinfecting filters and coating materials [16][17][18].…”
