| Abstract | The emerging microbial resistance and increased water pollution are of serious concern around the globe. In order to cope with these problems, new strategies are needed to develop less toxic and more effective nanomaterials that could arrest the microbial growth and eliminate unwanted organic pollutants from water samples. In the present contribution, we report the green synthesis of palladium nanoparticles using the aqueous extract of Phoenix dactylifera leaves. The appearance of a characteristic surface plasmon resonance peak at 278 nm confirmed the synthesis of palladium nanoparticles (UV-vis spectroscopy). The formation of the PdNPs was optimized at different temperatures (30 °C, 60 °C and 90 °C) and varying amounts of leaf extract (5 mL, 10 mL and 20 mL) in order to control their size, shape and dispersion. Average particle sizes of 13, 5, and 21 nm were observed by using the leaf concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 mL, respectively (HRTEM, DLS), with a fixed amount of PdCl2 (0.003 M) at 60 °C. The PdNPs synthesized under the optimized conditions (10 mL extract + 60 °C + 0.003 M PdCl2) were spherical in shape, small sized and uniformly distributed (HRTEM). The biologically synthesized nanoparticles were tested for their size dependent biomedical and catalytic applications. The PdNPs synthesized under optimized conditions exhibited strong catalytic activity with a complete reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol in only 2 min. These nanoparticles were highly active in scavenging DPPH free radicals. The optimized palladium nanoparticles also exhibited strong antibacterial efficiency against Pseudomonas aeruginosa 26 (±0.8 mm). This high activity of PdNPs may be due to their small size, high dispersion and surface capping phytochemicals. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
