| + | According to the protocol we followed from published literature, we expected our silver nanoparticles from cabbage extract to be within 30-50nm in size and spherical. Upon visualization using a TEM, we found that our nanoparticles were indeed spherical, but smaller than expected (within 5-30nm). However, these conditions generated the best results as there weren’t any aggregates/ agglomeration apparent in the sample and all nanoparticles formed are consistently spherical. |

| + | EDS analysis: confirmed that the particles were made of silver, though the signals were low likely due to the small particle sizes. Copper and carbon peaks are due to the grid used in the TEM analysis. |
