Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The Back Cover picture illustrates the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles using an Eucalyptus globulus bark extract. Santos et al. elucidated, through the use of advanced chromatographic techniques, the precise role of each family of compounds present in the plant extracts used in the bio‐based synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles. Phenolic compounds clearly had a pronounced impact on metal ion reduction while the sugars played a central role in their stabilization.
