Among various physical and biological methods for the synthesis of the nanocomposite, the green synthesis method is one of the most sustainable approaches for the synthesis of the NCs. Nanomaterials are widely synthesized by using plant extract, which is considered a low cost and highly efficient reactant for the fabrication of nanomaterials. In this research article, Citrus medica peels extract acts as a capping and reducing agent for the synthesis of Ag-MgO NCs. Various characterization techniques were employed for the characterization of fabricated nanomaterial. Like UV-Visible spectroscopy, SEM, EDX, TEM, and TGA. Two different peaks were obtained at different wavelengths in the UV-Visible spectrum for fabricated nanocomposite. The first peak occurred at 346 nm, which corresponds to Ag-NPs, and the second peak was detected at 293 nm, which corresponds to MgO-NPs. X-ray di.. View More»
