ECO-FRIENDLY SYNTHESIS OF NICKEL NANOPARTICLES FROM OCIMUM SANCTUM: ANTIBACTERIAL AND PHOTOCATALYTIC ACTIVITY
Green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles offers a sustainable alternative to conventional chemical approaches. In this study, nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) were successfully produced with Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi) leaf extract, which served as both a natural reducing and capping agent. Characterization involved UV–Vis spe...
