Green synthesis of self-oriented flower-like Ag@Ag₂O nanostructures functionalized with L-Tryptophan for colorimetric simultaneous determination of ultra-trace level of thiamin and riboflavin.

ABSTRACT: The study focuses on the green synthesis of Ag@Ag₂O nanostructures using Padina algae extract and functionalizing them with L-tryptophan to enhance their properties as a colorimetric sensor for simultaneous detection of ultra-trace levels of thiamin and riboflavin. The nanostructures are characterized using techniques like XRD, FESEM, FTIR, TEM, AFM, and DLS to understand their morphology, structure, and interactions with target molecules. FESEM analysis revealed the hierarchical flower-like Ag@Ag₂O nanostructures. The TEM image shows the formation of core-shell nanostructures. Also, DLS analysis and surface zeta potential spectra illustrated the aggregated nature of fabricated nanocomposites in the presence of vitamins. The study is the first to report simultaneous d
