Synthesis of Environmentally Friendly Silver Nanoparticles

Abstract:

The nanoparticles synthesized by plants and micro-organisms are environmentally safe and do not leave residues or long-term toxic effects in ecosystems or accumulate in the environment and transfer through the food chain. Therefore, the aim of the research is to synthesize silver nanoparticles from the leaves of the oleander plant, where they are environmentally friendly when used for various purposes such as controlling agricultural pests. The results showed that the leaves of this plant have the ability to synthesize silver nanoparticles and this is confirmed by the tests of color change of the plant extract the reaction solution, the color of the solution changed from colorless to pink. Physical diagnostic tests such as absorption using a UV-Visible spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 340 nm, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique have confirmed the formation of AgNPs in the leaves of a plant oleander. Keywords: silver nanoparticles, synthesis, environmentally friendly, physical diagnosis
