STUDY OF ANTIBACTERIAL EFFICACY OF GREEN -SYNTHESIZED SILVER-NICKEL HYBRID NANOPARTICLES

Abstract

An eco-friendly green strategy is presented for the synthesis of Ag-Ni hybrid nanoparticles taking a medicinal plant, Aerva lanata for phytoreduction of the precursor salt solutions. The synthesized nanoparticles are characterized by instrumental techniques such as UV-Visible, FTIR, EDX, FESEM and HRTEM. These particles are found to possess significant antibacterial efficacy against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria based on investigation by Well Diffusion method.
