SYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES FROM FLOWER EXTRACT OF ABUTILON INDICUM AND ITS CHARACTERIZATION
S. Shanthi and V. Bharathi*
ABSTRACT There is an increasing commercial demand for nanoparticles due to their wide applicability in various areas such as electronics, catalysis, chemistry, energy, and medicine. This work deals with the synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles using Abutilon indicum flower. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by using UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy and FT-IR analysis. The reaction mixture turned to brownish gray colour after 5hrs of incubation and exhibits an absorbance peak around 450 nm characteristic of Ag nanoparticles. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis showed silver nanoparticles was pure and polydispersed and the size were ranging from 10-40 nm. The approach of green synthesis seems to be cost efficient, ecofriendly and easy alternative to conventional methods of silver nanoparticles synthesis. Keywords: There is an increasing methods of silver nanoparticles synthesis. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
