The emerging popularity and wide acceptance of green chemistry environmentally benign/ecofriendly approaches have comprehensively considered for catalyst synthesis methods. Natural resource derived carbogenic quantum dots has been used in assistance with ultrasonic shock wave to graphene oxide (GO) aqueous dispersion order prepare reduced decorated silver nanoparticles following the 'top-down' method. total reduction process is done without using any toxic external reducing agents surfactants or stabilizers, thus it can be accepted as Sonochemical destratification GO layers provides attributes due scalable, non-hazardous relatively fast enhance surface area GO. Arresting onto basal planes act an efficient solid state support nitro aryls. Besides this work also reports bactericidal feature exhibited by catalyst. Thus a dual functioning nanomaterial successfully developed which suitable alternative reductive forthcoming specialty/multifunctional membrane other high-end medicinal industrial applications.
