| Popis: | A simple, one step, rapid green chemical method for the room temperature reduction of hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(III) hydrate (HAuCl4·3H2O) by the extract of banana fruit waste (BFW) is described here. This method illuminates the multi-functionality of BFW extract as a novel reducing, capping and stabilizing agent for the synthesis of the “Elixir of Life” i.e. gold nanoparticles (AuNps), additionally no physical or chemical agents were used. The biosynthesized AuNps have diverse shapes; the majority were spheres found by FE-SEM and AFM analysis. The average size of the circular AuNps observed was |
