Nanoparticles find many applications due to their small size and hence enhanced physical and chemical properties. Various physical, chemical and biological methods are available for nanosynthesis and they bring some contamination to the product and hence to the environment. In order to eliminate the contamination to the environment green methods are employed for nano synthesis. The green synthesis of nanoparticles are achieved by using plant products such as leaves, roots, flowers and fruits with the precursor solution. In this work, extracts from Phyllanthus Niruri and Solanum Nigrum leaves were utilized for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNps) from silver nitrate solution. Bio active molecules present in the extract act as reducing and capping agents in the green synthesis. The bioactive components of extracts and the morphology of AgNps were studied FTIR, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy(UV-Vis), FTIR, SEM and Dynamic Light Scattering analysis (DLS).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
