Generating Silver Nanoparticles from Ipomoea aquatica Extract

Abstract

In material science and engineering the discipline of nanotechnology offers varied scope to new researches. The synthesis by eco-friendly methods plays a critical role in helping various treatment applications. Silver nanoparticles (AgNp) offer prospective antimicrobial activity against infectious species. In this paper, we have implemented a new plant extract to generate silver nanoparticles from silver nitrate (AgNO3). Green synthesized nanoparticles have been characterized by UV-Vis (Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy) and FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) and the size is determined through DLS (dynamic light scattering) equipment. The results are determined through the change in color of the solution, UV at 395nm and size at 84nm which demonstrated a promising capability of the Ipomoea aquatica extract in synthesizing silver nanoparticles.
