Room temperature phytosynthesis of Ag/Co bimetallic nanoparticles using aqueous leaf extract of Canna indica
Continuous quest for safe environment has led to „green‟ approach of synthesizing nanoparticles. The method is easy, eco-friendly and cost-effective. Locally sourced medicinal plant Canna indica was used as capping/ stabilizing agent instead of toxic chemicals.
Secondary metabolites in the plant extract acted as reducing agents. Optical measurements were carried out using Uv-vis...
