| Sumario: | Herein, green platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) were synthesized using an aqueous extract of Atriplex halimus leaves as a reductant. Atriplex platinum nanoparticles (At-PtNPs) were stable for up to three months. At-PtNPs were characterized by several techniques including UV–Visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), EDX elemental mapping, High-resolution Transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Zeta measurements. At-PtNPs were black-colored and mainly spherical with a plasmon peak at 295 nm with ultra-small particle size (1–3 nm) and high surface charge (−25.4 mV). At-PtNPs were verified as a superb catalyst as they were able to catalytically degrade MB dye. At-PtNPs exhibited a high antibacterial efficiency against gram-negative bacteria. At-PtNPs were proved as a highly efficient antioxidant agent. Thus, the attained results offer a promising route of the green synthesis of PtNPs using the aqueous extract of Atriplex halimus. |
