Sonochemical Synthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles using Lactose as the Reducing Agent

The present study focuses on the exploration of a synthetic procedure for preparation green silver nanoparticles. Using lactose as reducing agent, reaction mixture containing precursor was exposed to ultrasonic irradiation at ambient temperature and conditions. To optimize synthesis, pH levels concentration were varied. acidic level, no nanoparticles produced since there color change observed after sonication. On other hand, using alkaline solutions evidenced by formation yellow-colored products. Infrared spectrometry revealed functional groups responsible reduction capping sonochemical route provided strategy production quality with potential chemical biological activities.
