Green leaf mediated synthesis of bimetallic Nanoparticles hotocatalytic and biological Applications

Abstract

An environmentally friendly and economical method was reported for green synthesis of Ag-Ni bimetallic nanoparticles by using Croton blanpondinum L leaf extract. The phyto molecules present in the extract are acting as reducing agents, stabilizing and capping agents for the biosynthesized nano particles. The characterization studies were done by UV-VIS, FTIR spectroscopies, SEM, EDX, XRD, BET and HRTEM analyses. These BMNPs also showed inhibition of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis by using Alamar blue dye in the lowest concentration range of gt12.5 and#956;g/ml. newline newline
