One-step synthesis of gold and silver non-spherical nanoparticles mediated by Eosin Methylene Blue agar.


ABSTRACT: Nowadays, there are several approaches reported to accomplish the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles by using bacterial and fungi supernatants or by-products generated by these microorganisms. Therefore, agars as solely reductive regents have started to be used in order to obtain metal nanoparticles. This paper shows the results of the synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles with different morphology, mainly triangular and truncated triangular, using Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) agar as reducing agent. To control the reaction process, the necessary activation energy for the reducer was provided by three different techniques: microwave radiation, using a domestic microwave oven, ultraviolet radiation, and heating on a conventional plate. The evolution of the reduction process and stability of the samples was performed by ultraviolet visible spectroscopy. Morphology was carefully analyzed using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A one step synthesis for gold and silver nanoparticles was optimized with an eco-friendly and economic process.
