Phytochemical Fraction-Mediated Synthesis of Ag and ZnO Nanoparticles: Exploring Reactivity Limits and Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Properties
The common generalization of plant extracts as universal, nonspecific reducing agents in metal nanoparticle (NP) synthesis is re-examined. We provide evidence that green synthesis relies on selective reactions between specific phytochemicals and metal precursors. Silver (Ag) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were su...
