The evolution in nanotechnology is progressively advancing from simple monometallic systems towards complex multimetallic architectures, driven by the pursuit of enhanced and novel functional properties. Trimetallic nanoparticles, in particular, represent a frontier in materials science, offering synergistic effects that are unattainable with their mono- and bimetallic counterparts due to the complex interplay between three distinct metals [1]. This study explores the synthesis and characterization of monometallic (Ag, Cu, Zn), bimetallic (AgCu, Ag-Zn, Cu-Zn), and trimetallic (Ag-Cu-Zn) nanoparticles using Calendula officinalis L., a medicinal plant renowned for its rich content of bioactive phytochemicals such as flavonoids, carotenoids, and phenolic compounds [2]. Utilizing a green synthesis approach, Calendula officinalis L. extract acts as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent, enabling an environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and straightforward production process free from toxic chemicals. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by various analytical methods, including UV-Vis, FTIR, and XRD analyses. This study provides a direct and comparative characterization of the structural evolution from monometallic to trimetallic systems. The confirmed formation of a homogeneous Ag-Cu-Zn trimetallic alloy nanoparticle highlights the effectiveness of the plant-mediated approach in facilitating the co-reduction of multiple metal ions. The findings provide a solid platform for future research into the catalytic, antibacterial, and antioxidant applications of these materials, while the synergistic effects of the trimetallic composition are expected to provide superior performance and significantly revolutionize the design of plant-based nanomaterials [3].
