Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles from Trapa bispinosa Fruit Extract: Characterization and Promising Antimicrobial Activity Against Multidrug-Resistant Pathogens
Abstract: Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are widely recognized for their applications in medicine, electronics, and environmental remediation. This study presents a new green synthesis method for Ag NPs using Trapa bispinosa fruit extract as a natural reducing agent and stabilizing agent. Characterization of the synthesized Ag NPs through X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed a crystalline structure consistent with the face-centered cubic (fcc) arrangement, with peaks at (111), (200), (220), (311), and (222), …

Synthesis and Characterization of Fluorescent Core-Shell Ag@SiO2 and Ag@MoS2 Nanoparticle
Abstract: Among metals, silver (Ag) and gold (Au) NPs have attracted significant interest owing to their extraordinary optical properties related with the localized surface Plasmon resonance. However, the main drawbacks of colloidal nanoparticles, making them barely useable in the photovoltaic field, are their low colloidal stability. To overcome this problem we have developed a new class of fluorescent core-shell Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles, or simply called (MEF) nanoparticles. Different characterization techniques UV-Vis, PL …
