Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles using Leaf and Stem Extracts of Eclipta alba and their Medical Applications
Abstract: AbstractBiosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using plants has emerged as a simple and feasible alternative to more complex physical and chemical synthetic procedures. Nanoparticles synthesis through greener routes can be used in a safer mode for various human applications. In this work, we describe a cost effective and environment friendly technique for biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from 1mM AgNO3 solution using leaf and stem extracts of Eclipta alba as reducing as …
