α-Amylase-Assisted Microwave Synthesis of SnO 2 Nanostructures with Defect-Related Surface Chemistry for Photocatalytic and Biological Applications
A rapid and sustainable microwave-assisted green synthesis was developed for α-amylase-assisted tin oxide nanoparticles (ZjL-SnO 2 NPs) using Ziziphus jujuba leaf extract as a natural reducing, capping, and stabilizing agent. The biomacromolecule-mediated route generated highly crystalline, spherical ZjL-SnO 2 NP...
