Facile-one pot-green synthesis, antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant and antiplatelet activities of lignin capped silver nanoparticles: A promising therapeutic agent.

The current work portrays the green synthesis of Lignin Capped Silver Nanoparticles (LCSN) and their antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant and antiplatelet potential. The LCSN was synthesized in water using a carbohydrate based polymer 'lignin' as the reducing and capping agents. The peak at 406nm (λ) in the UV-Vis.

Synthesis of Pd(0) nanocatalyst using lignin in water for the Mizoroki-Heck reaction under solvent-free conditions.

Palladium(0) nanospheres with an average size of 1-5 nm were synthesized and stabilized by lignin in water without any reducing agent. The lignin supported palladium(0) nanoparticles (lignin@Pd-NPs) were characterized by UV-vis., FT-IR, SEM, TEM, HRICP-AES, EDX and PXRD.
