Eco-friendly synthesis of gold nanoparticles using henna extract: Toward medical applications
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are synthesized using aqueous henna extract as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent. The results revealed spherical GNPs with an average size of 6 ± 2.5 nm and zeta potential of − 53.3 mV. The GNPs had significant antibacterial activity, photothermal efficacy, antioxidant properties, and non-cytotoxicity.
