This method reduces the effects of traditional chemical-based synthesis, by utilizing the reducing characteristics of maize leaves to promote the synthesis in a sustainable way. Using various analytical tools such as UV-Visible, XRD, FE-SEM, and FTIR, we thoroughly characterized the synthesized nanoparticles.
