Biogenic Fabrication of Silver Nanoparticles Using Flower Extract with Enhanced Biomimetics Attributes.

There have been some reports demonstrating the biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using (CP) plant extract; however, detailed in-depth debriefing of the vital synthesis parameter for rapid, facile, efficacious synthesis at varied temperatures with effectual characterization of nanoparticles and biomimetic attribute is lacking. This study presents a comprehensive demarcation of the sustainable fabrication of biogenic flower extract capped and stabilized silver nanoparticles (CP-AgNPs) synthesis with thorough phytochemical characterization and potential biological application. The results revealed that the successful synthesis of CP-AgNPs was instantaneous with the maximum intensity of the plasmonic peak ~400 nm, while morphological results revealed the cubic shape of nanoparticles.

The solvent-free microwave technique, ample substrate scope, superfast synthesis, and very simple operation are noteworthy features of this protocol. Antifungal activities of the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated against four fungal strains namely Rhizophus oryzae, Mucor mucido, Aspergillus niger, and Candida albicans.

Photophysical and structural aspects of perylene-doped 2-naphthol luminophors: Green emission by exciplex formation.

Several perylene (Pery)-doped 2-naphthol (2-NP) (Pery/2-NP) luminophors were prepared using conventional solid-state reaction techniques.
