PHOTOCATYLATIC AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES SYNTHESIZED USING GREEN APPRAOCH

Abstract

Green synthesis is a novel way to synthesizing nanoparticles by using different biological masses. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized via green synthesis using new and different herbal plant like Kalanchoe pinnata and Abutilon theophrasti leaves. The variation of physical parameters like temperature, pH, and concentration on the emergence and stability of nanoparticles was examined. The absorption of synthesized AgNPs was observed due to the strong surface plasmon resonance (SPR), whereas the crystalline nature was confirmed by XRD pattern. The morphology of AgNPs was studied using FESEM and HRTEM. Zeta potential strongly supported the high stability of silver nanoparticles. AgNPs showed antibacterial activities against the gram-negative E. Coli bacteria. Synthesised AgNPs showed the excellent photocatalytic activity in wastage water treatment in different Dye degradation.
