Biologically synthesized iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) from Phoenix dactylifera have anti-bacterial activities

Abstract Nanotechnology is a vast field of science with the most vibrant and conspicuous applications. The green synthesis approach is cost-effective, eco-friendly, and produces the most stable metal-based nanoparticles without the use of toxic chemicals. This study presents the green synthesis of i...
