Instantaneous phytosynthesis of gold nanoparticles via Persicaria salicifolia leaf extract, and their medical applications

In the current investigation, an instantaneous, single step, cost-effective, and environmentally safe biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using the aqueous extract of P. salicifolia leaves is reported for the first time. P. salicifolia-AuNPs were characterized via several techniques including UV–Visible spectroscopy, Zeta potential, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) attached to...
