Metallic SPIONP/AgNP synthesis using a novel natural source and their antifungal activities.

The green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) is important because of the favorable potential of plant biomolecules involved in the synthesis of NPs. This study aimed to provide a fast, easy, cheap, and environmentally friendly method for the synthesis of superparamagnetic iron oxide NPs (SPIONP) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using and an evaluation of their use as antifungal agents against and . The physicochemical properties of AgNPs and SPIONPs were studied using FESEM, HRTEM, XRD, VSM, UV-Vis, and EDX spectroscopy.
