Green Synthesis and the formation kinetics of silver nanoparticles in aqueous Inula Viscosa extract [PDF]
In this study, we present the production of silver nanoparticles in aqueous Inula Viscosa extract by the green synthesis approach at room temperature. The structural, morphological properties as well as formation kinetics of the synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-VIS, STEM, XRD, Raman and FTIR measurements.
