Biosynthesis and silver nanoparticles formation during the reduction of AgNO3were carried out by using an aqueous peel extract of banana kepok (Musa balbisiana) asa stabilizing agent. The formation of the stable silver nanoparticles with differentconcentration of AgNO3 has resulted in mostly spherical particles. The Ultraviolet-Visiblespectrophotometer, Transmission Electron Microscopy, X-Ray Diffractometer were usedto characterize these biosynthesized silver nanoparticles. The spherical shapednanoparticles were uniformly distributed with the range diameter of 5 to 50 nm and theparticles were naturally crystallized with the crystal structure of the face-centered cubicgeometry. Additionally, the kinetics of the formation process of silver nanoparticles wasobserved by the UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Based on the kinetic functions, the reductionprocess of banana peel extract had a constant formation rate of the autocatalytic processat 4.35 x 10-4/s.

In this article, the synthesis of silver nanoparticles through a reduction reaction process using Salacca zalacca extract is reported. The AgNPs were characterized using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared and UV-visible spectrophotometry methods. The AgNPs antibacterial activity was determined against of Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus epidermidis) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli). The main functional groups contained in Salacca zalacca extract are carbonyl, hydroxyl and nitrile groups, which are believed to reduce the silver ions to metal. The surface plasmon resonance values of brownish red AgNPs are in the range of 410 nm to 460 nm. The structure of AgNPs is face centered cubic (FCC). The diameter of silver nanoparticles crystallite is 14.2 ± 2.6 nm. The AgNPs growth inhibition zones of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis are 9.6 mm and 9.2 mm, respectively.

Background : Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in food industries, biomedical, dentistry, catalysis, diagnostic biological probes and sensors. The use of plant extract for AgNPs synthesis eliminates the process of maintaining cell culture and the process could be scaled up under a non-aseptic environment. The purpose of this study is to determine the classes of phytochemicals, to biosynthesize and characterize the AgNPs using Clinacanthus nutans leaf and stem extracts. In this study, AgNPs were synthesized from the aqueous extracts of C. nutans leaves and stems through a non-toxic, cost-effective and eco-friendly method. Results : The formation of AgNPs was confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, and the size of AgNP-L (leaf) and AgNP-S (stem) were 114.7 and 129.9 nm, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis showed spherical nanoparticles with AgNP-L and AgNP-S ranging from 10 to 300 nm and 10 to 180 nm, with average of 101.18 and 75.38 nm, respectively. The zeta potentials of AgNP-L and AgNP-S were recorded at −42.8 and −43.9 mV. X-ray diffraction analysis matched the face-centred cubic structure of silver and was capped with bioactive compounds. Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer analysis revealed the presence of few functional groups of phenolic and flavonoid compounds. These functional groups act as reducing agents in AgNPs synthesis. Conclusion : These results showed that the biogenically synthesized nanoparticles reduced silver ions to silver nanoparticles in aqueous condition and the AgNPs formed were stable and less toxic.

In this study, biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using the extract of a local banana peel (variant name: Raja) as bio-reductor was carried out. This study aimed to determine the effect of two different ratios of Banana Peel Extract (BPE)/distilled water on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The two of BPE/water ratios were 1% (v/v) and 5%(v/v), named as Sample A and Sample B, respectively. Whereas, the concentrations of AgNO3 solution as the precursor were varied as follows: 0.125; 0.1; 0.075; and 0.05 M. The synthesized colloidal silver nanoparticles were characterized using a UV-Vis spectrometer, while the BPE solution was analyzed using Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR) to study its functional groups. While, the solid silver nanoparticles was characterized using a Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with an Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis. The UV-Vis spectrometer results qualitatively showed that sample A produced better silver nanoparticles than that of sample B. All samples showed absorbance peaks at wavelength of 450 nm. It was found that the highest absorbance value (i.e. 1.59) occurred at sample A with a concentration of AgNO3 solution 0.1 M. Additionally, FT-IR analysis result showed the presence of a hydroxyl group specifically for alcohols as phenols, which indicated the possibility of polyphenol compounds. The SEM micrograph showed that some of the silver nanoparticles were in the shape of tetrahedron or triangular like particle and spherical The SEM image analysis results using ImageJ software showed that most of the silver nanoparticles produced had the size of 100-300 nm. Furthermore, the EDX analysis result showed a peak count at 3 keV, which confirmed the formation of silver nanoparticles.

This study focuses on the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using Banana Raja (Musa Paradisiaca Var. Raja) peel extract. The aim is to determine the effect of concentration differences of silver nitrate (AgNO3) as the precursor on the production of silver nanoparticles. In this study, banana peel extract (BPE) was reacted with AgNO3 solution at several concentrations of silver nitrate solution i.e. 0.125; 0.1; 0.075 and 0.05 M at temperature of 50 °C. The ratio of banana peel extract and AgNO3 solution used was 5:500 (v/v). The stirring was done by using a magnetic stirrer. The reaction took place when the color of the mixture (extract and AgNO3) changed until the color of the mixture became constant. The results of the colloidal silver nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Vis Spectrometer, while the functional groups of the banana extract was analyzed using a Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR) apparatus. Whereas, the morphology of the silver nanoparticles was studied using a Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The UV-Vis Spectrometer result show that the concentration of AgNO3 which gave the highest absorbance value was at 0.1 M. The SEM micrographs could not clearly show the difference in the morphology of silver nanoparticles samples at different concentrations of AgNO3 solution.

Nanosilver/poly(acetoacetoxyethyl methacrylate–styrene) (nano-Ag/P(AAEM-St)) composites were synthesized via emulsifier-free emulsion with silver nitrate solution, AAEM, and St monomer copolymerization by ultrasonic. The morphology and structure of the composites were characterized by ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometer, and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. The results show that Ag nanoparticles with face-centered cubic structure are homogeneously dispersed in the P(AAEM-St) matrix. The thermal stability and the thermal degradation kinetics of P(AAEM-St) were investigated using the thermogravimetric analysis and Kissinger and Flynn–Wall–Ozawa method, respectively. The results prove that the thermal stability of the pure P(AAEM-St) is better than that of the nano-Ag/P(AAEM-St) composites.

Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by an enzyme-induced growth process on solid substrates. In order to customize the enzymatically grown nanoparticles (EGNP) for analytical applications in biomolecular research, a detailed study was carried out concerning the time evolution of the formation of the silver nanoparticles, their morphology, and their chemical composition. Therefore, silver-nanoparticle films of different densities were investigated by using scanning as well as transmission electron microscopy to examine their structure. Cross sections of silver nanoparticles, prepared for analysis by transmission electron microscopy were additionally studied by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy in order to probe their chemical composition. The surface coverage of substrates with silver nanoparticles and the maximum particle height were determined by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy. Variations in the silver-nanoparticle films depending on the conditions during synthesis were observed. After an initial growth state the silver nanoparticles exhibit the so-called desert-rose or nanoflower-like structure. This complex nanoparticle structure is in clear contrast to the auto-catalytically grown spherical particles, which maintain their overall geometrical appearance while increasing their diameter. It is shown, that the desert-rose-like silver nanoparticles consist of single-crystalline plates of pure silver. The surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic (SERS) activity of the EGNP structures is promising due to the exceptionally rough surface structure of the silver nanoparticles. SERS measurements of the vitamin riboflavin incubated on the silver nanoparticles are shown as an exemplary application for quantitative analysis.

The microstructure of two metastable crystalline phases, which are formed during the first step of the crystallization process in Ni–Zr metallic glasses, was investigated by transmission electron microscopy. For the composition Ni33Zr67, crystallites with average size of 150 nm having the face-centered cubic E93 structure are formed. For the Ni42Zr58 composition, 100 nm size crystallites with a simple cubic unit cell, space group Pa3 are formed. The microstructure of the crystallites in the early stage of crystallization of the two phases is similar to globular morphology and internal striations.
