Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles using Hydroalcoholic Extract of Prunus Mahaleb (Mahaleb Cherry) and Malus Purpurea (Blutapfel)

Abstract

Abstract The aim of the paper was to develop methods for obtaining environmentally friendly nanomaterials. The plant extracts used in this paper were characterized by spectroscopic methods (UV-Vis, FTIR and Raman). In this regard, it was used vegetal material at the optimal time and in the period of maximum maturity of the plant, from the geographical area of Dâmbovița County, and being processed in fresh / dry status. The nanomaterials formed with the help of these plant extracts (Ag) have also been characterized by various analytical techniques (UV-Vis, FTIR, Raman) analysis. The bioactive compounds existing in plant materials are responsible for the bio reduction of silver (Ag+ to Ag0) ions, as well as for the stabilization of silver nanoparticles.
