ABSTRACT:

In the area of Nano technological research, green synthesis of Nanoparticles (NPs) has pulled in a ton of interest in light of the fact that the green-synthesized Ag NPs show more prominent antimicrobial and inhibitory qualities, in perspective on which they could be utilized in various applications in the areas of medical and drug delivery. It might be the most appropriate option for the conventional techniques that are commonly conflicting and exert dangerous impacts on the earth. In this research, green synthesis of silver NPs using Ziziphus mauritiana leaf extract was carried out. The synthesized Ag NPs were characterized using UV–V is spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The consequences of UV-Vis spectroscopy showed plasma resonance peaks around 413 nm, that exhibited the existence of Ag NPs. The result observedfromSEM demonstrated thatNPs werefound inspherical and in the 4–96 nm range. The practical gatherings forNPs synthesis using organic compounds with minimized procedure of biosynthesis and stabilization of silver NPs were studied with FTIR and were observed to be phenols, alcohols, primary amines, and alkenes. The XRD pattern demonstrated the FCC structure of AgNO₃ and average particle was observed to be 12.0 nm.
