Aim: Biosynthesis of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) has gained significant interest due to their distinctive chemical and biological properties that is essential for potential application in various fields.
Methods: In the present study, propolis, the beehive product collected from 5 different Indian states like Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Karnataka and Kerala were used for the biosynthesis of SeNPs and characterized by using UV-vis spectrophotometer, fourier transform spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Results: SeNPs biosynthesized by propolis were observed as crystalline, oval shaped and smooth surface particles. Study also reports the efficiency of 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl (DP.. View More»
