Nanocrystalline cellulose derived from melon seed shell (Citrullus colocynthis L.) for reduction and stabilization of silver nanoparticles: Synthesis and catalytic activity

Melon seed shells (MSS) are a hazard to the environment as they host disease vectors. To alleviate the effect, we explored melon seed shells (MSS) as a new source of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) with reducing- and stabilizing capacity for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The isolati...
