UNASSIGNED: Herein, we present a simple and green method for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using the phytoproteins of @entity2772 leaves. Under ambient sunlight irradiation, the isolated phytoprotein complex from @entity2772 leaves reduces the gold @entity2865 aqueous solution and stabilizes the formed AuNPs. As prepared nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy, zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and @entity11898 ( @entity11898 ). The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) maximum for AuNPs was observed at 520nm. The zeta potential value estimated for the AuNPs is -27.0mV, indicating that the NPs are well separated. Transmission electron micrographs revealed that the particles are spherical in nature with the size range from 10 to 15nm. AuNPs act as a catalyst in the degradation of an @entity24740 dye, @entity25537 in an aqueous environment. The reduction rate was determined to be pseudo-first order. Electrocatalytic efficiency of the synthesized AuNPs via this green approach was studied by chronoamperometry using @entity620 and @entity273 as a model compound for oxidation and reduction, respectively. Electrocatalytic studies indicate that the gold nanoparticles can be used to detect @entity620 and @entity273 in micromolar concentrations with response time less than 3s.
