ECO – INSPIRED SYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES UTILIZING Acacia nilotica EXTRACT: A FOCUS ON ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES

Abstract

The present work on green synthesis 0f silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are notable for their simplicity and cost-effectiveness, which yield stable nanomaterials and serve as a viable alternative for the large-scale production of AgNPs.  The Acacia nilotica extracts helped to reduce and stabilize AgNPs during their formation process.  The synthesized AgNPs utilizing leaf extracts for reduction and stabilization were thoroughly reported and evaluated.  The findings indicated a significant increase in the rate of AgNP synthesis when detergents and elevated temperatures were used.  Following the synthetic procedure, the properties of the synthesized AgNPs were thoroughly analyzed using UV-visible, FTIR, and SEM.   Furthermore, an in vitro DPPH assay was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant properties of synthesized AgNP.
