Self assembled snowball-like hybrid nanostructures comprising Viburnum opulus L. extract and metal ions for antimicrobial and catalytic applications
Herein, we report the production of novel organic-inorganic nanobio-catalytic and
antimicrobial agents called “nanosnowball”(NSBs) with a rational design and elucidate the
increase in the catalytic and antimicrobial activities. The NSBs resemble to guelder rose
were formed of the extract of Viburnum opulus (VO) as the organic component and copper
(II) ions (Cu 2+) as the inorganic component. The effects of the VO extract and Cu 2+
concentrations on the morphology of NSBs were systematically examined and characterized …
