Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate a sustainable and eco-friendly method of producing silver nanoparticles in the Sivas-Zara area by utilizing lanolin, a naturally occurring material that is taken from sheep wool. This study was driven by the antioxidant, antibacterial, and photocatalytic qualities of lanolin, which may have uses in cosmetics and environmental remedies. The findings demonstrate that Ultraviolet Visible Spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy spectroscopy were used to successfully produce and analyze silver nanoparticles. The antibacterial activity was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and the antioxidant qualities were confirmed using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay. Furthermore, the methylene blue dye was efficiently degraded by photocatalysis, reducing absorbance by 79.92% in just 24 minutes. To sum up, our study shows that lanolin is a good reducing agent for making AgNPs, which have potent antioxidant, antibacterial and photocatalytic properties.
期刊介绍：
Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects is a new journal devoted to all aspects of the synthesis and the properties of this new flourishing domain. The journal is devoted to novel architectures at the nano-level with an emphasis on new synthesis and characterization methods. The journal is focused on the objects rather than on their applications. However, the research for new applications of original nano-structures & nano-objects in various fields such as nano-electronics, energy conversion, catalysis, drug delivery and nano-medicine is also welcome. The scope of Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects involves: -Metal and alloy nanoparticles with complex nanostructures such as shape control, core-shell and dumbells -Oxide nanoparticles and nanostructures, with complex oxide/metal, oxide/surface and oxide /organic interfaces -Inorganic semi-conducting nanoparticles (quantum dots) with an emphasis on new phases, structures, shapes and complexity -Nanostructures involving molecular inorganic species such as nanoparticles of coordination compounds, molecular magnets, spin transition nanoparticles etc. or organic nano-objects, in particular for molecular electronics -Nanostructured materials such as nano-MOFs and nano-zeolites -Hetero-junctions between molecules and nano-objects, between different nano-objects & nanostructures or between nano-objects & nanostructures and surfaces -Methods of characterization specific of the nano size or adapted for the nano size such as X-ray and neutron scattering, light scattering, NMR, Raman, Plasmonics, near field microscopies, various TEM and SEM techniques, magnetic studies, etc .
