Is it compulsory to calcinate biogenic silver nanoparticles?

16 December 2024 1 9K Report

I prepared my AgNPs with plant extract, washed them, resuspended them in deionized water and dried them in drying cabinet, the powder is black, yet i'm unsure of whether i should expose them to high temperature above 200 degree C, or should i just leave them the way the powder is? even though the powder showed inhibition zone
