Biosynthesis of novel Hypercium sabrum extract mediated functionalized Ag@Fe3O4@SiO2 NCs for the efficient removal of poisonous pollutants: Greener journey and bioactivity

The full phytochemical profile and elemental analysis of the Hypercium sabrum plant extract as natural reducing media was investigated. The plant then was employed for green fabrication of recyclable 1-(3-(Trimethoxysilyl) propoxy)-1-hydroxy-2-methylallyl format (TMSPHMAF) and 5-Chloro-1-phenyl tetrazole (CPT) functionalized Ag@Fe3O4@SiO2 nanocomposites (NCs) and their formation mechanism. The structure of green fabricated NCs was elucidated using spectrophotometric, spectroscopic and surface analysis techniques. Also, for better catalytic performance of NCs in reduction of toxic nitro compounds and organic dyes and evaluation of potential removal efficiency (RE) of catalysts, the zero-point charge pH (pH(ZPC)) of their surface was studied. Furthermore, the antimicrobial activities and scolicidal effect of NCs were studied against current pathogenic bacteria and hydatid cysts protoscolices.
