Green synthesis of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles from plant leaf extracts and their applications: A review (2020, background): “[110] proposed that the metal ion reduction may be carried out with the help of quinones and plastohydroquinone molecules present in the plant leaf extract, which indicate that the extracellular MNP synthesis can be done by biomolecules and heterocyclic compounds in plants.”
Synthesis of metallic nanoparticles using plant extracts. (2013, background): “The extract contained alkaloids, proteins, enzymes, amino acids, alcoholic compounds, and polysaccharides which were said to be responsible for the reduction of the silver ions to nanoparticles (Kesharwani et al., 2009).”
