Abstract
Novel Ag-Cu-Co trimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized by green method using phyllanthus niruri extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. It was analyzed using Ultraviolet-Visible, Fourier Transform Infrared, Scanning Electron Microscope, X-ray Diffraction, Particle size and Thermal analyses etc. The UV–Vis studies confirmed the absorption value of Ag-Cu-Co at 241 nm respectively. The crystalline size of the P. niruri supported Ag-Cu-Co was found in the range of 17–19 nm with quasi spherical in shape. From the antibacterial study the synthesized Ag-Cu-Co showed maximum zone of inhibition for E. coli and it was found to be 25 mm. The photocatalytic degradation study confirmed the effective activity against methylene blue and the percentage degradation was confirmed to be 83.28 percentage. The LC50 value was found to be 14.768 percentage which confirmed the potent larvicidal activity of synthesized material. Hence, it has proved that the synthesized green nanoparticles as proficient catalyst for antioxidant, antibacterial, larvicidal and effective degradation of dye molecules.
