UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF TECOMA STANS PHYTOCHEMICALS IN THE GREEN SYNTHESIS OF ZN-AG NANOPARTICLES

Abstract

This experimental research study report the use of TECOMA STANS leaf extract assist the synthesis of Silver Nitrate (AgNO3) and zinc Sulphate heptahydrate. TECOMA STANS plant already has other benefits like anti- inflammatory and wound healing properties. The nanoparticles are synthesized are confirmed by UV-Vis spectrophotometry with absorption peak were obtained in the range of 480-600nm and characterized by FTIR and TEM. The biological activities of the produced nanoparticle like chemical test and antimicrobial activities was evaluated. Silver nitrate nanoparticle have got more attention due to its natural properties like anti-septic, anti-bacterial and cauterizing agent. The bimetallic nanoparticles have greater potential than monometallic. The zone of inhibition of bimetallic NPs is more than monometallic against various pathogen. The synthesis was done at different concentration and was monitored. AgNO3 and zinc sulphate heptahydarate has anti-microbial activities as it was confirmed when the NPs were tested against azotobacter by disc diffusion method. In conclusion the current scenario of environment pollution green synthesis method is sustainable, environment friendly, cost effective and less hazardous than chemical synthesis and has wealthy application in biomedical field.
