Silver nanoparticles obtained by aqueous or ethanolic aloe Vera extracts: An assessment of the antibacterial activity and mercury removal capability

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by chemical reduction of Ag+ ions (from silver nitrate AgNO3), using aqueous or ethanolic Aloe vera extracts as reducing, stabilizing, and size control agent. The nanop articles' sizes were between 2 and 7nm for ethanolic extract and between 3 and 1...
