In present we have been producing metallic nanoparticles with toxic and harmful chemicals which are more dangerous to environment. Therefore there is a need to develop environment friendly synthesis techniques without using toxic chemicals. In this work a simple and green/eco-friendly/chemical free biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using C seed extract as reducing agents was prepared. Nanoparticles were characterized by UV-vis absorbance spectroscopy, XRD and SEM measurements. The metal ions reduction occurs very rapidly, and the reduction of Ag ions will be completed within 4 hours. The synthesized silver Nanoparticle distinct monodispersity as they show particle size between the ranges of 30-80 nm. The experimental study confirmed the formation of highly crystalline nanoparticles with uniform shape. Further, the antibacterial activity against the.. View More»
