Dr. Anjaneya Oblesha

I hope, reductase enzyme which is present in the plant extracts plays an important role in synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles.

CR Suri

This mechanism is primarily due to some reducing substances (organic or enzymatic) present in the plants.

Jyotsna Kaushal

Dr. jyotsna kaushal

As we observed, the reducing agent present in plant extract is responsible for reduction of silver salt into zero oxidation state and also this plant extract is stabilising the nanoparticles as we are not adding any stabilising agent additionally.
