ABSTRAK
Telah dilakukan penelitian tentang sintesis nanopartikel perak menggunakan bioreduktor ekstrak daun teh hijau (Camellia Sinensis) dengan iradiasi microwave. yang untuk mengetahui pengaruh waktu sintesis dan pengaruh pH stabilizer terhadap sintesis nanopartikel perak ekstrak daun teh hijau dengan iradiasi microwave serta karakterisasinya. Larutan AgNO3 3 mM direduksi menggunakan ekstrak daun teh hijau dan di iradiasi microwave pada variasi waktu sintesis 1-5 menit. Penentuan waktu sintesis optimal menggunakan spektrofotometer UV-Vis diukur setiap 1 menit. Nanopartikel dengan waktu sistesis 4 menit, pH stabilizer menggunakan asam sitrat dan NaOH dengan pH 6-9. Karakterisasi nanopartikel menggunakan instrumen SEM-EDS (Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy) dan PSA (Particle Size Analyzer). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa waktu sintesis optimal adalah 4 menit. Morfologi nanopatikel perak yang dikarakterisasi menggunakan SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) yang dihasilkan cenderung beragregasi. Adanya kecenderungan nanopartikel untuk beragregasi menyebabkan ukuran atau diameter nanopartikel tidak seragam. Ukuran dan distribusi ukuran nanopartikel perak dikarakterisasi menggunakan PSA(Particle Size Analyzer) dihasilkan pada pH 6 antara 31,01 – 402,44 nm dengan rata-rata ukuran sebesar 91 nm, pH 7 antara 35,03 – 740,899 nm dengan rata-rata ukuran sebesar 106,3 nm, pH 8 antara 39,58 – 193,48 nm dengan rata-rata ukuran 71,7, dan pH 9 antara 35,03 – 171,25 nm dengan rata-rata ukuran sebesar 64,4 nm. Disimpulkan bahwa hasil sintesis nanopartikel perak terkecil diperoleh pada pH 9 dan waktu sintesis 4 menit.

ABSTRACT
Research has been carried out on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using a bioreductor of green tea leaf extract (Camellia Sinensis) by irradiation microwave.This research aimed to determine the effect of synthesis time and pH stabilizer on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles of green tea leaf extract by microwave irradiation and it’s characterization. The 3 mM AgNO3 solution was reduced using green tea leaf extract and microwave irradiated in a variation of the synthesis time 1-5 minutes. The determining optimum of sythesis time was done by analysis of UV-Vis spectrum for every minutes. Nanoparticles with a synthesis time of 4 minutes, the stabilizer of silver nanoparticles used citric acid and NaOH with a pH of 6-9. Characterization of nanoparticles using SEM-EDS instrument (Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy) and PSA (Particle Size Analyzer). The results showed that the optimal synthesis time was 4 minutes. The morphology of silver nanopaticles characterized using SEM produced tends to aggregate. The tendency of nanoparticles to aggregate causes size or diameter of nanoparticles was random. The size and distribution of size silver nanoparticles characterized using PSA were produced at pH 6 between 31.01 - 402.44 nm with an average size of 91 nm, pH 7 between 35.03 - 740,899 nm with an average size amounting to 106.3 nm, pH 8 between 39.58 - 193.48 nm with an average size of 71.7, and pH 9 between 35.03 - 171.25 nm with an average size of 64.4 nm. It was concluded that the synthesis of the smallest silver nanoparticles was obtained at pH 9 and synthesis time of 4 minutes.
