Using pomegranate peel extract green synthesize of AG nanoparticles: characterization and antibacterial activity

In this research, the eco-friendly biogenesis of silver nanoparticles from 2 mM AgNO3 using the extraction of pomegranate peel (EPP) as the agent of reduction was explored. Analysis of the Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR), UV-visible spectrum, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize Ag nanoparticles. At 425 nm, UV-visible spectra show a significant resonance on the surface of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). A spectrum investigation using FTIR spectroscopy revealed that EPP operated as a reduction agent. SEM analysis reveals nanoparticles with average particle sizes ranging between 30 and 50 nm. AgNPs' antibacterial activity was also tested against Staphylococcus aureus. X-ray diffractometer (XRD), using Scherrer's equation and the refraction peak in the XRD pattern, the average particle diameter of the silver nanoparticles was determined to be 80. The silver nanoparticles formed in the brown-colored stable samples according to SEM analysis, and well-dispersed nanoparticles could be seen in the silver nitrate-treated samples. Ag nanoparticles produced by pomegranate peel extract show the maximum antibacterial activity against S. aureus (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 mol). This technique produces Ag NPs with effective antibacterial action against harmful microorganisms. One of these is silver nanoparticles, which have a substantial influence on nanotechnology and the field of nanomedicine.
