Abstract
In the present research, silver nanoparticles were synthesized using ground nutshell and characterized using UV-visible, FTIR and PXRD. The SEM and HR-TEM aided in confirming the nano size, surface morphology and phase purity of the AgNPs. The quantum chemical, electrochemical, and structural studies were carried out to understand electrochemical properties. In addition, biological study such as anti-cancerous activity was carried out, and IC-50 values 80.25 µg/mL for A549 lung cancer cell lines. The effective electrochemical anti-corrosion activities were also studied. The majority constituents of ground nutshell are flavonoids, in a small quantity of alkaloids and phenolic acids, which provide more stability to synthesize silver nanoparticles and avoid agglomeration. These functional moieties enhance the unique properties in the field, as in drug delivery systems, magnetic applications, and metallic, semi-conducting core-shell nanoparticles.

Summary
Nanoscience and technology have developed rapidly all over the world, largely by adopting the quality, advancement, and efficiency of nanoparticles [1,2]. Recent research has shown that different parts of plant species could successfully achieve silver nanoparticle synthesis by using fruit peels, plant barks, and nutshells. We treat it as waste and include various plants aspects, such as roots, flowers, seeds, barks, roots, and pulps. The wet chemical process, very helpful in the synthesis of large-scale nanoparticles, can be utilized in applications to reduce pollution by adsorbing poisonous gases from the atmosphere and acting as a green inhibitor for metal corrosions in acidic and basic media, and in therapeutic applications, corrosion, and in cytotoxicity studies [33,34,35].
