ABSTRACT
The necessity to create ecologically friendly nanoparticles without the use of hazardous chemicals is expanding as worldwide competitions intensify. One of the possible research topics is the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) utilizing plant extracts. Metal ion bioreduction is a very quick process that can be easily scaled up and carried out at room temperature. Using Eclipta prostrata, & Punica Granatum plant extract using diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, the current study reports a quick and environmentally friendly production of AgNPs. Temperature, time, and redundant concentration are among the process factors that were examined for their effectiveness and impact on the biosynthesis of AgNPs. Aqueous leaf extract of Eclipta prostrata, & Punica Granatum was used to quickly manufacture AgNPs, which were detected when the medium changed brown upon the addition of silver ions. UV-visible spectroscopy was used to analyze the stability of biosynthesized AgNPs, and transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction were used to examine physicochemical properties.
