Biosynthesis, Characterization, and Antibacterial Activity of Gold, Silver, and Bimetallic Nanoparticles Using L. Leaves.

The utilization of nano-sized drug delivery systems in herbal drug delivery systems has a promising future for improving drug effectiveness and overcoming issues connected with herbal medicine. As a consequence, the use of nanocarriers as novel drug delivery systems for the improvement of traditional medicine is critical to combating infectious diseases globally. In line with this, we herein report the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and bimetallic nanoparticles (BMNPs) as antibacterial agents against pathogenic bacterial strains using L.

Synthesis of glutamine-based green emitting carbon quantum dots as a fluorescent nanoprobe for the determination of iron (Fe) in (potato).

Herein, we reported the use of -doped green-emitting carbon quantum dots (-CQDs) as a fluorescent probe for determining of Fe ions in for the first time. The -CQDs were synthesised through an efficient, one-step, and safe hydrothermal technique using citric acid as the carbon source and glutamine as a novel nitrogen source. The temporal evolution of the optical properties was investigated by varying the synthetic conditions with respect to temperature (160 °C, 180 °C, 200 °C, 220 °C and 240 °C) and citric acid: glutamine precursor ratio (1:1, 1:1.
