In this study, rapid, simple approach was applied for synthesis of silver nanoparticles by using Psidium guajava aqueous leaf extract. The plant extract acts as both reducing agent and capping agent. The green synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by using physic-chemical techniques viz, UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer [FTIR], Particle size analyser and Scanning electron microscopy. UV-Visible spectrophotometer showed absorbance peak in the range of 419nm.The compounds responsible for silver ions and the functional groups present in plant extract were identified and investigated by FTIR technique. The characterization data reveals that the particles were in crystalline in nature with an average size of 62nm. The silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were rapidly synthesized using aqueous extract of guava leaf with AgNO3 solution within 15min at room temperature, without the involvement of any hazardous chemicals. Keywords: Nano particles, green synthesis, Silver,  Psidium guajava and reducing agents.

Abstract This study reports green synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) from Sophora mollis leaf extract. The use of S. mollis extract for preparation of Ag NPs was investigated using different techniques. Dark brown color indicates formation of nanoparticles. Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) analysis revealed that plant extract act as a reducing and capping agent. Morphological aspects of Ag NPs were ascertained by means of SEM studies. Energy dispersive and FTIR spectroscopy results showed chemical composition and plant extract functionality respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed particle size of 70 nm. Antibacterial activity of NPs was investigated by disc diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration method. Antioxidant activity of NPs was shown by DPPH assay. The photo catalytic efficiency of synthesized Ag NPs was evaluated by degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye under UV irradiation. Ag NPs degraded MB dye up to 88% in 160 min. It is concluded that these NPs could be employed for degradation of toxic industrial effluents. Result proved the green synthesis of Ag NPs from S. mollis extract is clean, economical and safe method.

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized using Juglans regia (J. regia) leaf extract, as both reducing and stabilizing agents through microwave irradiation method. The effects of a 1% (w/v) amount of leaf extract (0.1–0.9 mL) and an amount of 1 mM AgNO3 solution (15–25 mL) on the broad emission peak (λmax) and concentration of the synthesized Ag NPs solution were investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). Fourier transform infrared analysis indicated the main functional groups existing in the J. regia leaf extract. Dynamic light scattering, UV-Vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the synthesized Ag NPs. Fabricated Ag NPs with the mean particle size and polydispersity index and maximum concentration and zeta potential of 168 nm, 0.419, 135.16 ppm and −15.6 mV, respectively, were obtained using 0.1 mL of J. regia leaf extract and 15 mL of AgNO3. The antibacterial activity of the fabricated Ag NPs was assessed against both Gram negative (Escherichia coli) and positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria and was found to possess high bactericidal effects.

In the present study, Psidium guajava leaves were taken for synthesizing silver nanoparticles and checked their antibacterial activity against E.coli, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus and Acinetobacter. The plant extract was analysed for the detection of the presence of protein, carbohydrate, flavonoids, terpenoids, glycosides, steroids, saponins, phenols and tannins. In this present study, the antibacterial activity of green synthesized silver nanoparticles from guava leaf shows the zone of inhibition against all the five pathogens.

In this work, we have presented the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using extracts of Pistiastratiotes L. as reducing agent. The silver nitrate (AgNO3) solutions were used as precursor. The experiments were performed under irradiation with a light that can help to increase the activation for reduction of silver ions (Ag+) to metallic silver (Ag0). The effects of pH on the nature of Ag-NPs have been systematically studied by using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the synthesis of Ag-NPs in acidic medium gives smaller size than that in basic medium. A number of synthesized Ag-NPs increase with increasing the concentrations of acidic/basic medium. All synthesized Ag-NPs have spherical shape.

The green synthesis of nanomaterials is becoming much popular as a result of worldwide problems associated with environmental concerns. In the present work, leaf extract of Barbadensis Miller, (commonly known as Aloe vera) was used for bio-reduction of silver ions to silver nanoparticles. Aloe vera extract and AgNO3 solution in different volumes were treated and it resulted in the reduction of Ag+ ions to Ag metal atoms, which further accumulated as Ag nanoparticles. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, SEM, FT-IR spectroscopy and XRD analysis. The present study established that the shape and size of the silver nanoparticles can be effectively controlled and modulated using green synthesis technique. The scope of the prepared particles for anti-microbial applications were also investigated.
