Green synthesis of SiO2 nanoparticles from Rhus coriaria L. extract: Comparison with chemically synthesized SiO2 nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: The usage of the green synthesis method to produce nanoparticles (NPs) has received great acceptance among the scientific community in recent years. This, perhaps, is owing to its eco-friendliness and the utilization of non-toxic materials during the synthesizing process. The green synthesis approach also supplies a reducing and a capping agent, which increases the stability of the NPs through the available phytochemicals in the plant extractions. The present study describes a green synthesis method to produce nano-silica (SiO2) NPs utilizing Rhus coriaria L. extract and sodium metasilicate (Na2SiO3.5H2O) under reflux conditions. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is added to the mixture to control the pH of the solution. Then, the obtained NPs have been compared with the chemically synthesized SiO2
