Innovative Preparation of Cellulose-Mediated Silver Nanoparticles for Multipurpose Applications: Experiment and Molecular Docking Studies.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, inorganic metal nanoparticle fabrication by extraction of a different part of the plant has been gaining more importance. In this research, cellulose-mediated Ag nanoparticles (cellulose/Ag NPs) with excellent antibacterial and antioxidant properties and photocatalytic activity have been synthesized by the microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. This method is a green, simple, and low-cost method that does not use any other capping or reducing agents. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), field emission scanning microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and UV-visible spectroscopic techniques were used to investigate the structure, morphology, as well as components of the generated cellulose/Ag NPs.
