ABSTRACT Ag–Fe bimetallic nanoparticles (alloy and core–shell structures) were synthesized using Grewia optiva leaf extract through a green, phytochemical‐mediated approach. The effects of pH, temperature, extract concentration, and Ag:Fe molar ratio on nanoparticle formation were systematically optimized, enabling size‐controlled and morphologically ...

ABSTRACT Silver‐doped cerium oxide nanoparticles (Ag/CeO2 NPs) were synthesized using Ricinus communis seed extract as a bio‐derived fuel in a solution combustion method. The combustion reaction, carried out at 450°C with AgNO3 and (NH4)2[Ce (NO3)6] as metal precursors, produced CeO2 and Ag/CeO2 NPs.
