Synthesis And Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles Using Different Parts of Azadirachta Indica and Murraya Koenigii

Abstract

From last few decades nanoparticles have received great attention of all researchers for development of new generation nanodevices. In the present study Ag nanoparticles were synthesized from aqueous silver nitrate through a simple and eco-friendly route using broth solutions of Azadirachta and murraya plant parts. The constituents present in plant extract(broth) act as reducing agent and stabilizing agent simultaneously. FTIR spectroscopy was used to investigated the functional groups present in plant extract which are responsible for bio-reduction of silver ions. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed through UV-Visible spectral analysis at different time interval of process. Besides green route of synthesis, silver nanoparticles may also be obtained from chemical route using sodium citrate like reducing agent. The synthesized silver nanoparticles could have major applications in the area of nanoscale optoelectronics devices and biomedical engineering. Our synthesis method has advantage over other conventional chemical routes because it is cost effective & environmental compatibility.
