Silver nanoparticles act as anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. On the other hand, some plants contain reducing agents. Therefore, it is deemed necessary to know the potentiality of plant extracts such as green tea leaf extract on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The Methanol extract of green tea leaves serves as a reduction of AgNO3 solution. Determination of the optimum reaction time in forming nanosize using UV-Vis spectrophotometer every 30 minutes. Characterization of nanoparticles obtained using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and particle size analyzer (PSA). The results showed that green tea leaf extract was able to reduce Ag + to silver nanoparticles at a reaction time of 90 minutes, the temperature of 70°C. Morphology is not uniform, tends to aggregate, and the size distribution of silver nanoparticles is 82.33-740.89 nm with an average diameter of 157.8 nm.
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.
