Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Elaeis Guineensis from Palm Leaves: Influence of pH in Reaction Kinetic

Abstract:

In this research, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using elaeis guineensis leaves extract was investigated and the influence of pH and reaction time in the reaction kinetic were studied. UV-visible spectrophotometer was used to monitor the reduction reaction of silver ions to silver nanoparticles and formation of silver nanoparticles shown at sharp peak at pH 10 with λ_max of 391 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows silver nanoparticles are polydispersed and irregular shape with size ranging from 55-85 nm. Formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDAX) and crystalline structure using XRD. From this research, it was found that pH 10 influenced the reaction kinetic therefore reduce the reaction time.
