Synthesis of silver-copper nanoparticles using phenolic compounds extracted from palm leaves as the reducing agent / Nurul Amal Nadhirah Mohamad

Silver-copper nanoparticles have various applications including antibacteria, catalyst, electrical conductor as well as silverware. The need to find a cost effective and less hazardous method to produce nanoparticles has lead to exploration of green synthesis using plant extract. Plants with high p...
