Abstract
and demonstrated 92.7 % antioxidant activity in a DPPH scavenging assay at 250 μg/ml. Photocatalytic tests revealed that the nanoparticles effectively degraded methyl orange and rhodamine B, achieving 88.6 % and 93.2 % degradation under UV light, respectively, and 67.3 % and 74.1 % degradation under sunlight. These promising biological and catalytic properties suggest significant potential for diverse applications.
