The present study was designed to synthesize Silver Nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) in aqueous medium using leaf extract of Gynocardia odorata R. Br. (Achariaceae). The synthesized Ag-NPs were characterized using different technique such as UV-Visible Spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The reduction of Ag ions to initiate nucleation and subsequent Ostwald Ripening to form nanoparticles was made possible by the presence of various antioxidants in the leaves of Gynocardia odorata. These antioxidants served both as reducing and capping agents. The synthesized Ag-NPs were found to be polydispersed in nature and spherical in shape. With the Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) optical absorption band peak at ~440 nm was observed using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. FTIR confirmed the presence of methoxy and allyl groups in the synthesized Ag-NPs and nearly 15-45 nm diameter spherical shaped NPs was validated using TEM. The synthesized Ag-NPs were stable for a long period (more than six months) and showed good antibacterial activity against both gram positive and gram negative bacterial strains and the effect was higher as compared to the normal aqueous extract.

This paper continues our previous work on preparation of triangular silver nanoparticles. The method proceeds with reaction of silver nitrate with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of polyvinyl pyrrolidone in aqueous solution. Effects of the concentration of PVP on the morphologies of Ag NPs were systematically investigated. The obtained Ag NPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and UV-visible spectrophotometer. The results showed that, triangular Ag NPs with edge lengths in the range of 50-200 nm were obtained using PVP as protective agent with lower concentration. As the concentration of PVP increased, spherical Ag NPs with their sizes about 6.2 nm were prepared and triangular Ag NPs were not obtained. The formation mechanism of triangular Ag NPs has been studied. Ostwald ripening is the driving force on the conversion of spherical Ag NPs to triangular Ag NPs in the presence of PVP.

The bioceramics, calcium hydroxyapatite (HA), is a material which is biocompatible to the human body and is well suited to be used in hyperthermia applications for the treatment of bone cancer. We synthesis hydroxyapatite in modified synthetic body fluid (SBF) solutions at 37°C and pH of 7.4 using a novel chemical precipitation technique. Then after heat operation, on filtered precipitated result HA were produced. For loading the silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on the hydroxyapatite we use AgNO3 solution. And for reducing Ag+ ions apply sodium borohydrate solution. The formations of the silver nanoparticles on the HAP structure were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM image show the nanostructure of silver particles, being formed on hydroxyapatite texture.

In this work, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized using a chemical reduction approach and a pulsed laser fragmentation in liquid (PLFL) technique, simultaneously. A laser wavelength of 532 nm was focused on the as produced Ag NPs, suspended in an Origanum majorana extract solution, with the aim of controlling their size. The effect of liquid medium concentration and irradiation time on the properties of the fabricated NPs was studied. While the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern confirmed the existence of Ag NPs, the UV–Vis spectrophotometry showed a significant absorption peak at about 420 nm, which is attributed to the characteristic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak of the obtained Ag NPs. By increasing the irradiation time and the Origanum majora extract concentration, the SPR peak shifted toward a shorter wavelength. This shift indicates a reduction in the NPs’ size. The effect of PLFL on size reduction was clearly revealed from the transmission electron microscopy images. The PLFL technique, depending on experimental parameters, reduced the size of the obtained Ag NPs to less than 10 nm. The mean zeta potential of the fabricated Ag NPs was found to be greater than −30 mV, signifying their stability. The Ag NPs were also found to effectively inhibit bacterial activity. The PLFL technique has proved to be a powerful method for controlling the size of NPs when it is simultaneously associated with a chemical reduction process.

  This review is based on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using a green approach which is biofabricated from various medicinal plants. AgNPs were prepared from the various parts of the plants such as the flowers, stems, leaves, and fruits. Various physiochemical characterizations were performed using the ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. AgNPs were also used to inhibit the growth of bacterial pathogens and were found to be effective against both the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. For the silver to have antimicrobial properties, it must be present in the ionized form. All the forms of silver-containing compounds with the observed antimicrobial properties are in one way or another source of silver ions. Although the antimicrobial properties of silver have been known, it is thought that the silver atoms bind to the thiol groups in enzymes and subsequently leads to the deactivation of enzymes. For the silver to have antimicrobial properties, it must be present in the ionized form. The study suggested that the action of the AgNPs on the microbial cells resulted into cell lysis and DNA damage. AgNPs have proved their candidature as a potential antibacterial against the multidrug-resistant microbes. The biological agents for synthesizing AgNPs cover compounds produced naturally in microbes and plants. Reaction parameters under which the AgNPs were being synthesized hold prominent impact on their size, shape, and application. Silver nanoparticle synthesis and their application are summarized and critically discussed in this review.

AbstractWe report star-shaped silver@gold (Ag@Au) nanoparticles (NPs) in gelatin suspensions for the purpose of enhancing the stability of Ag@Au NPs. In this case, Ag NPs were designed as nucleating agents, whereas gelatin was used as a protecting agent for Au development. Especially, variable gelatin concentrations were also prepared to explore its ability to increase the stability of Ag@Au NPs. The obtained samples were then characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The maximum absorption wavelength of all samples (566–580 nm) indicated that branched Ag@Au@gelatin NPs were successfully synthesized. In addition, our TEM results revealed that the size of branched Ag@Au@gelatin NPs was found to be between 20 and 45 nm as influenced by the component ratio and the pH value. These results can provide valuable insights into the improvement of Ag@Au NP stability in the presence of gelatin.

Traditional synthesis of silver nanoparticles using chemical methods produces toxic substances. In contrast biological synthesis is regarded as a safe and nontoxic process but the major drawback of biological synthesis is, this process is slow. In the present investigation, we developed a rapid and green synthesis of silver nanoparticles employing a pigment produced byStreptomyces coelicolorklmp33 in just 90 s. The silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The biobased synthesis developed in this method is a safe, rapid, and appropriate way for bulky synthesis of silver nanoparticles.

A new method for the simple synthesis of stable heterostructured biopolymer (sodium alginate)-capped silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) based on green chemistry is reported. The as-prepared nanoparticles were characterized using the ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques. The results showed that the as-prepared Ag-NPs have a heterostructured morphology with particle size in the range 30 ± 18–60 ± 25 nm, showing a zeta potential of −62 mV. The silver nanoparticle formation was confirmed from UV-Vis spectra showing 424 nm as maximum absorption. The particle size and crystallinity of the as-synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed using TEM and XRD measurements, respectively. FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of alginate as capping agent to stabilize the nanoparticles. The Ag-NPs also showed excellent sensing capability, with a linear response to hydrogen peroxide spanning a wide range of concentrations from 10−1 to 10−7 M, which indicates their high potential for water treatment applications, such as pollution detection and nanofiltration composites.
