Abstract:
Lemon juice effectively served as a reducing and capping agent for an easy, cost-effective, and green synthesis of crystalline bismuth nanoparticles (BiNPs) in basic aqueous media. Spherical BiNPs with a rhombohedral crystalline structure are capped by phytochemicals and stably dispersible in aqueous media. The BiNPs effectively catalyze the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol by NaBH4.
