Rapid Green Synthesis of Metal Nanoparticles using Pomegranate Polyphenols
Keywords:
Nanoparticles, biosynthesis, plant extract, silver, gold, polyphenols.Abstract
Plant extract could be an alternative to traditional chemical methods for the production of metallic nanomaterials in a clean, nontoxic and ecologically sound manner. In the present study, we aimed to develop a rapid ecofriendly method for the synthesis of both silver and gold nanoparticles using pomegranate peel extract (PPE). The bioactive constitutes and the potential antioxidant capacity of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) extract seems to play a role in the production of metal nanoparticles. Biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles using PPE gives high yield of nanoparticles. The resulted nanoparticles provided high monodisperse character with an average particle size 50 nm for gold nanoparticles and 20 nm for silver nanoparticles.
