BIOSYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES USING THE AQUEOUS EXTRACT OF ACANTHUS MONTANUS LEAVES EXTRACT

The tremendous application of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the various scientific fields has rendered its synthesis to be largely significant community. Interestingly, plant-mediated appears sustainable over conventional synthetic method as a result cheap, safe, fast, and clean outcome. This study, for first time, investigates potential Acanthus montanus leaves extract biological reducing agent capable synthesizing AgNPs. Qualitative phytochemical investigation A. methanolic was studied AgNPs were prepared at different concentrations, using green-synthetic method. Obtained characterized UV–vis spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Results qualitative studies revealed presence important phytochemicals. After 6 hours, reduction ions confirmed from observed colour change light yellow dark/reddish brown. UV-visible spectrum showed characteristic surface plasmon resonance 450 nm while XRD analysis crystalline Microscopic montanus-synthesized with SEM non-uniform morphology including spheres wires. EDS elemental abundance. For employed our results have proven effectiveness an interesting bioreducing required non-toxic
