Critical Research on Biological Synthesis and Characterization of Gold Nanoparticles (AuNPs), Using Plant Extracts | Chapter 3 | Recent Developments in Engineering Research Vol.5

 

The objective of this current work was to carry out biological synthesis and characterization of gold nanoparticles ( AuNPs) using plant extracts using environmentally friendly technology: cactus (Opuntia sp.), onion (Allum sp.), pear (Pyrus sp.), coffee (Coffea sp.) and laurel (Laurus sp.), as reducing agents and stabilisers. Normal methodologies have been obtained. Maximum absorbance at 527-537 nm was determined by UVVisible spectrophotometry characterization, while transmission electron microscopy ( TEM) and atomic force microscopy ( AFM) reported that the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles developed various shapes, including spheres, cubes, cones, cylinders and others, with a size of 5-100 nm depending on the extract used, so that the proposed method is used In addition, these AuNPs can be functionalized.
