Eco-friendly green synthesis of Ag@Cu bimetallic nanoparticles: Evaluation of their structural, morphological and electrochemical characterizations

The present study focuses on the preparation of silver/copper bimetallic hybrid nanoparticles by green method from precursor solutions of silver nitrate & copper nitrate and the locally available citrus fruit (lemon) peel extract which behaves as the stabilizing and reducing agent. Initially, the formation of hybrid nanoparticles was noticed in the reaction mixture by colour change.
