Ag Thin Films from Pelargonium Zonale Leaves via Green Chemistry

Ag thin films were successfully produced via a green chemistry method from silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) obtained reacting an extract of Pelargonium Zonale leaves with nitrate. The ions nitrate reduced to atoms by reducing stabilizer-capping compounds contained in the leaves. nucleate small clusters that grew into and finally, they formed homogeneous film on glass substrate. nanostructured characterized profilometry, X Ray Diffraction, Atomic Force Electronic Microscopy, UV-Vis, Transmission Electron Microscopy.
