“…Similar results were obtained in a previous study, with the highest peak observed at 3 keV when AgNPs were synthesized using Carica papaya , Manihot esculenta , and Morinda citrifolia . The presence of an energy peak at 3 keV, which is characteristic of silver atoms, is due to the resonance of silver, which has an energy level equal to 2.984 or 3 keV …”

This study aims to evaluate the capability of Ageratum conyzoides and Mikania micrantha extracts to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and their antibacterial capability against gram‐positive and gram‐negative bacteria. Several properties of the synthesized AgNPs, including plasmonic, biomolecule bonding, shape, size, and antibacterial, were investigated. Ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy was employed for characterizing their plasmonic properties. Functional groups on the produced AgNPs were investigated by Fourier‐transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy. The size and shape of the AgNPs were identified using the field‐emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Inhibition zone measurement was carried out for evaluating the antibacterial capability. This study showed that the extracts of A. conyzoides and M. micrantha were able reducing agents as evidenced by the formation of the spherical AgNPs. UV–vis spectroscopy, FT‐IR spectroscopy, and FESEM confirmed the physicochemical characteristics of AgNPs. AgNPs that were synthesized using M. micrantha were slightly smaller than those produced using A. conyzoides. In general, the present work establishes that the synthesized AgNPs have antibacterial capability depending on their size and synthesis procedure.

“…Nano-scale materials with a size range of 1-100 nm find a niche in materials science owing to their defined size, shape, optical, mechanical and biological properties [133]. Currently, a large number of methods like biological ones can be used to synthesize different types of nanoparticles [134].…”

“…It was found that these nanoparticles possess excellent anticancer activity than extract alone and it showed 91.84% and 84.91% inhibition against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma and human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29) cells, respectively. Furthermore, the study carried by Rajkuberan et al [133] reveals the rapid biosynthesis of AgNPs using aqueous latex extract of Euphorbia antiquorum L as a potential bioreductant. In vitro cytotoxicity assessment of bioformulated AgNPs has shown potential anticancer activity against human cervical carcinoma cells (HeLa).…”

“…Figure 4 shows the EDX spectra of the synthesized AgNPs-coated textiles. The presence of AgNPs on textiles was proven by peak at approximately 3 eV, which is typical for absorption of metallic AgNPs due to their SPR properties [40]. The difference of intensity from samples can be correlated to the concentration of the element in the sample [41].…”

This study aims to propose a new green method for the deposition of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on textiles without the use of chemical compounds as binders. The deposition of AgNPs on textiles was achieved by immersing textiles in silver nitrate solution before adding with a natural reducing agent obtained from the extraction of Mikania micrantha. Plasmonic properties of the synthesized AgNPs were characterized using Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy and surface morphology of textiles was identified using the fieldemission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). In addition, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was also employed for the characterization. Inhibition zone measurement was performed for evaluating the antifungal capability of textiles attached with AgNPs. This study showed that the attachment of AgNPs to several textile types (cotton, cotton-polyester, silk, and fiber) without the use of binders or other chemical compounds had been successfully achieved. Moreover, all textiles attached with AgNP exhibited effective antifungal activity.
