In this study, platinum-based silver nanoparticles (Pt@Ag NPs) were synthesized by the green synthesis method, and their catalytic effects on hydrogen production were investi-gated. The characterization measurements of the synthesized NPs were performed by TEM, UV-Vis, XRD, and FTIR. According to TEM characterization results, Pt@Ag NPs had an average size of 5.431 nm. In experiments based on catalytic reactions for hydrogen pro-duction, test measurements were made at different parameters. It was observed that as the concentrations of the substrate and catalysts increased, the catalytic reaction accelerated, and the hydrogen release increased. Likewise, it was determined that hydrogen production increased with increasing temperature in different temperature experiments. The turnover frequency, entropy, activation energy, and enthalpy values are calculated as 702.38 h-1,-160.5 J/mol.K, 32.48 kJ/mol, and 29.94 kJ/mol, respectively. According to the reusability test results, it was observed that the average reusability was found to be 85% after 5 cycles and it was confirmed that the NPs showed high-catalytic activity. In addition, the biological activities of Pt@Ag NPs, including antimicrobial, antioxidant and anticancer were tested. Pt@Ag NPs synthesized using Hibiscus sabdariffa (Hs) extract are thought to have the po-tential to be used in both biomedical and catalytic applications. The use of Pt@Ag NPs in the hydrogen production process shows great promise for green energy studies because it is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and low cost. & COPY; 2022 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.

The production of nanoparticles by the biosynthesis method attracts great attention due to their environmentally friendly structure and biocompatibility. In this study, a green method for the synthesis of Palladium-Silver nanoparticles (Pd-Ag NPs) using the extract of Nigella satioa seeds is reported. Pd-Ag NPs obtained by the green synthesis method were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), UV-vis spectrometry, and X-Ray diffraction patterns (XRD). Pd-Ag NPs were seen to have a spherical structure in the TEM analysis image and the average particle size was found to be 6.80 nm. In addition, the anticancer and antibacterial activities of Pd-Ag NPs synthesized by the green synthesis method were investigated. Pd-Ag NPs had lethality of 69.26%, 52.28%, 76.90%, and 57.49% respectively, against Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli bacteria at 200 mu g/mL. Besides, the antibacterial activity of Pd-Ag NPs against B. subtilis, S. aureus, and MRSA bacteria was developed by the Neuro-fuzzy (ANFIS) model. The minimum inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of Pd-Ag NPs against human breast cancer cells, human endometrial carcinoma cells, and human cervical cancer cell lines were determined as 12.4384 +/- 0.39 mu g/mL, 13.5043 +/- 0.539 mu g/mL, 17.7172 +/- 0.782 mu g/mL, respectively. The catalytic activity of Pd-Ag NPs was investigated by sodium borohydride (NaBH4) hydrolysis. Enthalpy, entropy, turner of frequency (TOF), and activation energy values were calculated as 24.51 kJ/mol, -183.15 J/mol.K, 1387.29 h(-1), 27.01 kJ/mol, respectively. In the light of the obtained results, it promises that Pd-Ag NPs may play a therapeutic role in complications related to cancer and bacterial infections. The use of Pd-Ag NPs as catalysts will contribute to the development and application of new nano-catalysts to reduce environmental pollution. (C) 2022 Institution of Chemical Engineers.

Green synthesis is considered to be one of the most suitable method because it enhances the therapeutic effects of palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs). In this study, various biological activities such as antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, and DNA cleavage activities of Urtica-mediated green synthesizing Pd NPs were investigated. The synthesized Pd NPs were characterized by using UV-vis, XPS, FT-IR, TEM, and XRD analyses. As a result of the TEM analysis of Pd NPs, the mean particle size was found to be 7.44 +/- 1.94 nm, and this result was supported by XRD analysis. The maximum DPPH scavenging activity was determined as 79.6% at 500 mg/L. The newly green synthesized Pd NPs exhibited high antimicrobial activity to gram-negative bacteria than gram-positive bacteria. Urtica-mediated green synthesized Pd NPs also showed double strain DNA cleavage activity. For the cytotoxic effects of Pd NPs, the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line, HT-29 colon cancer cell line, Mia Paca-2 human pancreatic cancer cell line, and healthy cell line L929-Murine fibroblast cell line were used. IC50 values of Pd NPs against MDA-MB-231, HT-29, and MIA PaCa-2 cancer cell lines were calculated as 31.175, 20.383, and 29.335 mu g/ml, respectively. No significant cytotoxic effect was observed in the healthy lines L929.

This study aimed to synthesize Ag NPs as a green catalyst for photocatalytic activity and to examine their bio-logical activities. It was determined that they have high activity in catalytic and biological activities. The green synthesis which is an environmentally friendly and inexpensive method was used to synthesize Ag-NPs using Linum usitatissimum as a reducing agent. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), infrared to Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the Ag NPs. In UV-Vis examination, Ag-NPs had intense peaks in the 435 nm region. The anti-bacterial activity of Ag NPs was investigated, and Ag NPs showed a high lethal effect against S. aureus, E. coli, B. subtilis, and MRSA. In addition, Ag NPs were tested for anticancer activity against the HT-29 colon cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line, healthy cell line L929-Murine Fibroblast cell Lines, and MIA PaCa-2 human pancreatic cancer cell line at various concentrations (1-160 mu g/mL) and showed a high anti-cancerogenic properties against MDA-MB-231 cells. Ag NPs showed the ability of DNA cleavage activity. Also, the antioxidant activity of Ag NPs against DPPH was found to be 80% approximately. Furthermore, the pho-tocatalytic activity of Ag NPs against methylene blue (MB) was determined to be 67.13% at the 180th min. In addition, it was observed that biogenic Ag NPs have high electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) detection. In the sensor based on Ag NPs, linearity from 1 mu M to 5 mu M was observed with a detection limit (LOD) of 1.323 mu M for H2O2. According to these results, we conclude that the biogenic Ag NPs synthesized using Linum usitatissimum extract can be developed as an efficient biological agent as an antibacterial and anticancer also can be used as a photocatalyst for industrial wastewater treatment to prevent wastewater pollution.

In biomedical applications, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are of great interest due to their cost-effective and environmentally friendly properties. Green synthesis of nanoparticles for biological research is a preferred choice since it does not require additional reducing agent. For this purpose, in this study, we aimed to synthesize the biogenic silver nanoparticles with the help of Rosa canina plant (Rc-Ag NPs) and then they have been tried for their antioxidant and antibacterial properties. UV-Vis spectrophotometer, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were performed for characterization of Rc-Ag NPs. Antioxidant properties of silver nanoparticles synthesized with Rosa canina plant were investigated against 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH). DNA dissociation activity of synthesized Rc-Ag NPs was studied, and DNA dissociation activity was shown. The antimicrobial activity of Rc-Ag NPs was also tested using micro-dilution. According to the results, Rc-Ag NPs synthesized were found to be highly effective for anti-oxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and DNA cleavage activities.
