Description
In the quest for environmental remediation which involves eco-friendly synthetic routes, we herein report synthesis and modeling
of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and silver/nickel allied bimetallic nanoparticles (Ag/Ni NPs) using plant-extract reductionmethod.
Secondary metabolites in the leaf extract of Canna indica acted as reducing agent. Electronic transitions resulted in emergence of
surface plasmon resonance in the regions of 416 nm (Ag NPs) and 421nm (Ag/Ni NPs) during optical measurements. Further
characterizations were done using TEM and EDX. Antimicrobial activity of the nanoparticles against clinical isolates was highly
significant as
