Synthesis, characterization, and antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles with expired minocycline as reducing agent: proposed as a recycling techniqueBy Othman O. Dakhil1,*, Islam Altalhy, Mohamed A. Sharkasi, Ruwida M. K. Omar, Yousra Fathi
Abstract: In this research, expired minocycline, a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic, was employed as both a reducing and stabilizing agent for the eco-friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles. This sustainable method avoids the use of toxic chemical reducing agents, providing a greener alternative for nanoparticle production. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were analyzed using several characterization techniques, such as UV-Vis’s spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Edex analysis, to assess their structural, …
