Green Synthesis of Luminescent Carbon Dots from Ficus benghalensis Aerial Roots for Bioimaging.

In this work, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were prepared using a one-step hydrothermal green synthesis method from a low-cost and eco-friendly renewable biomass, specifically the Ficus benghalensis aerial roots (FB-AR). For the past two decades, CQDs have been noted for their tunable emission spectrum, quantum yield, biocompatibility, photostability, and unique optoelectronic properties such as photoluminescence (PL), and fluorescence. The synthesized Ficus benghalensis carbon quantum dots (FB-CQDs) were characterized for their physical, structural, and chemical properties using XRD, Raman, HRTEM, XPS, FTIR, TG-DTG, UV-visible, and photoluminance analysis.

based Ag-NPs activate ROS - induced apoptosis through down-regulation of AKT, mTOR and pI3K signaling in human gastric cancer (AGS) cells.

The phytochemicals found inwere studied for their ability to reduce silver nitrate in order to synthesise silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and characterise their size and crystal structure. Thunbergol, 1,1,6-trimethyl-3-methylene-2-(3,6,9,13-tetram, Methyl nonadecanoate, Methyl cis-13,16-Docosadienate, and (1R,4aR,5S)-5-[(E)-5-Hydroxy-3-methylpent were the major compounds identified in the methanol extract by gas chromatography-mass spectrum analysis. UV/Vis spectra, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope with Energy Dispersive Xâray Analysis (EDAX), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) particle size analyser and atomic force microscope (AfM) were used to characterise theplant extract-based AgNPs.
