Impacts of manganese bio-based nanocomposites on phytochemical classification, growth and physiological responses of Hypericum perforatum L. shoot cultures

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
We report a new green route for preparing MnO2/perlite nanocomposites (NCs) by leaf extract of Hypericum perforatum. Characterization of the physicochemical properties of the MnO2/perlite-NCs was performed using XRD, FESEM, EDX, FT-IR, and DLS techniques.
