Noble metallic nanoparticles, silver (Ag) and gold (Au) especially, are very important in modern nanotechnology due to their various applications in medicine, pharmacy and diagnosis especially due to their proven antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. Both silver (AgNPs) and gold (AuNPs) nanoparticles can be synthesized using conventional or unconventional methods and, in recent years, the unconventional methods that rely on the biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles from different plants and plant parts are cons...

Silver and gold nanoparticles have unique antimicrobial and antifungal properties that make them excellent candidates for applications in nanomedicine, tissue engineering and bio-imaging. Green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is preferred over conventional chemical routes because is eco-friendly, requires no reducing agents and no toxic chemicals result. In the present research study, one-pot green synthesis of noble metallic nanoparticles, namely silver (AgNPs) and gold (AuNPs) nanoparticles, from aqueous ext...
