Facile synthesis, stabilization, and anti-bacterial performance of discrete Ag nanoparticles using Medicago sativa seed exudates
TLDR
Colloidal silver nanoparticles synthesized by reacting aqueous AgNO(3) with Medicago sativa seed exudates under non-photomediated conditions were effective anti-bacterial agents and nanoplates are notably smaller and better faceted compared with those synthesizing by vascular plant extracts previously reported.About:

Shape-Controlled Synthesis of Gold and Silver Nanoparticles
Yugang Sun,Younan Xia +1 more
TL;DR: Monodisperse samples of silver nanocubes were synthesized in large quantities by reducing silver nitrate with ethylene glycol in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), characterized by a slightly truncated shape bounded by {100, {110}, and {111} facets.
