Sunlight-Driven Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Pomelo Peel Extract and Antibacterial Testing

Abstract: A green approach, including using phytochemicals in pomelo peel extract (PPE) and direct sunlight, was used to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). PPE was prepared by treating pomelo peel with a citric acid solution at 85°C for 2 h. PPE was then mixed with AgNO3 and exposed to sunlight to induce the formation of AgNPs. Time-dependent UV-vis spectra of the reaction mixture demonstrated that AgNPs are formed under sunlight irradiation faster than underheating at 90°C. Characterization techniques, including … Show more

“…Furthermore, sunlight irradiation has been shown to promote a fast reduction process, resulting in a higher yield when compared to control experiments in the dark. Some procedures relying on sunlight can be performed without the presence of any reducing moieties [ 6 , 45 , 155 , 158 ]. SDS is an example of a surfactant used in the synthesis of Ag NPs starting from an AgNO 3 aqueous solution under sunlight irradiation of ~50.3 mW cm −2 intensity for 1 h at room temperature [ 155 ].…”

“…However, exposure times longer than 5 h did not bring further changes. In comparison, the control experiment in the dark did not yield any color change nor Ag NP formation, highlighting the key role played by sunlight in this process [ 155 , 158 , 159 ].…”

“…In particular, AgNPs have become one of the most promising materials for fighting the threat of drug-resistant bacteria due to their excellent antimicrobial properties [52]. e use of AgNPs synthesized from plant extracts is more beneficial for AgNPs to exploit their value in biomedical and other fields thanks to their low toxicity and biocompatibility [5,53].…”
