Novel and Efficient Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Curcuma Longa and Zingiber Officinale Rhizome Extracts

Silver particles of nanometric size were prepared from silver sulphate solution using Curcuma Longa and Zingiber Officinale rhizome extracts. The reaction was completed at 3 hours on using Curcuma Longa rhizome extract as reducing agent, making it one of the fastest biosynthesis route reported so far. The plasmon bands at 420 nm in the UV visible spectra are broad with an absorption tail in the...
