Abstract

Physiologically processed bio-molecules present in cow excreta can be used to reduce metal ions into metal nanoparticles in a single step by novel synthetic routes. This biogenic reduction of metal ion to base metal is quite rapid and easily scaled up. These NPs exhibit excellent catalytic activities for studied organic reactions. X-ray diffraction pattern of reaction product confirmed the formation of palladium nanoparticles. The synthesized PdNPs shows potential activity for organic transformation. Antimicrobial activity of nanoparticles determines biogenic potential of the nanoparticles against different microorganisms and antioxidant activity determined the potential of free radicals. Both of the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity helps in study application of nanoparticles in medical and veterinary sciences.
