Use of Invasive Weed to Synthesize Shape-Tunable Gold Nanoparticles and Evaluation of their Catalytic Activities in Dye Reduction

Green chemical synthesis of Pd nanoparticles for use as efficient catalyst in Suzuki‐Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction

“…The phytochemicals from the flowers of wild growing Lantana camara were isolated by following the previously reported method . For the synthesis purpose, a 4.0 gL −1 solution of the extract was prepared in distilled water.…”

“…Also it is reported that polyphenolics can be extracted efficiently using water as extracting solvent which also increases the versatility of the process as it further minimizes the use of toxic solvents . The polyphenolics act as better green reducing agents for noble metal and other transition metal ions . Considering these aspects, we believe that the use of flower extract of Lantana camara as reducing‐cum‐stabilizing agent for the preparation of Pd NPs can provide a new platform to this noxious plant making it a value‐added weed for nanotechnology‐based industries in future.…”

“…Hence, there is immense interest in recent years in developing environmentally friendly and sustainable methods for the synthesis of Pd NPs. In this regard, the biogenic method involving plant extract has received considerable attention because; such methods are considered to be very effective in developing a rapid, clean, nontoxic, and eco‐friendly technology . Another advantage associated with the use of plant extract is that no additional capping agent or stabilizer is required as phytochemicals present in the plant extract or their by‐product formed during reaction stabilize the formed Pd NPs .…”

Ocimum sanctum Leaf Extract-Assisted Green Synthesis of Pd-Doped CuO Nanoparticles for Highly Sensitive and Selective NO2 Gas Sensors

“…Various researchers have reported about the green synthesis of CuO nanoparticles from various plant extract such as Aloe vera, , Terminalia phanerophlebia, Gloriosa superba, Psidium guajava, Solanum nigrum, Abutilon indicum, Lantana camara, and Malva sylvestris . This phytomediated method using different plant extracts is considered an innovative, low-cost, and modest approach for synthesizing CuO nanoparticles.…”

“…The merit of greensynthesized CuO-based system over the chemically synthesized system is that it not only decreases the risk to human health and environmental pollution but can also help to produce sensors with the appropriate microstructure that provides a remarkable response to the target gas. 42 Various researchers have reported about the green synthesis of CuO nanoparticles from various plant extract such as Aloe vera, 43,44 Terminalia phanerophlebia, 45 Gloriosa superba, 46 Psidium guajava, 47 Solanum nigrum, 48 Abutilon indicum, 49 Lantana camara, 50 and Malva sylvestris. 51 This phytomediated method using different plant extracts is considered an innovative, low-cost, and modest approach for synthesizing CuO nanoparticles.…”
