The silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) were prepared by green synthesis method using green agents, polyethylene glycol (PEG) under moderate temperature at different stirring times.
The hazardous potential of ionic liquids (ILs) is becoming an issue of great concern due to their important role in many industrial fields as green agents.
In the current work, catalytic methylation of 2-naphthol was studied by using dimethyl carbonate as a greener agent vis-à-vis methyl halides and dimethyl sulfate.
Green's agent, Ray Anderson, said Green had not decided if he would coach again.
"We're not going to get anything done," Green's agent, Nate Lampley, said.
The carbonization was conducted at 3 MPa and moderate temperatures (150 170 °C) in subcritical water, which is a green dehydrating agent.
Catechin, which is a potent antioxidant, has been successfully utilized as a green reducing agent for the synthesis of AuNPs.
The adsorbed Ag+ ions on the aptamer were then reduced to Ag shell on the surface of AuNPs core by thyme leaves extract as a green reducing agent.
In this research, the PEG was appropriate as a stabilizer and polymeric media for reducing the AgNO3 using sugar as a green reducing agent.
They also revealed that the plant extract could be used as an efficient green reducing agent for the production of SNPs [27].
