Abstract

Abstract: The particles with a diameter of 1-100 nm are called nanoparticles. They have unique properties due to their dimensions and high surface area. As a result of this characteristic, they are a suitable candidate for catalysis, imaging, medical applications, energy-based research, and environmental applications. In our work, silver nanoparticles (AgNP) were synthesized by two different routes, i.e., chemical and green routes. The chemical method synthesized AgNP from AgNO3 and NaBH4 as reducing agents. While for eco-friendly and non-hazardous green synthesis, fruit extract of Phyllanthus embolic- amla) was utilized. In this method, AgNP was synthesized with the help of silver nitrate precursors and an extract of Phyllanthus embolic, which acts as a reducing and stabilizing agent. Characterization results of both synthesized AgNP were compared using SEM, FTIR and XRD. Upon reaching the shape and size of AgNP with the chemical method, it was suggested that Phyllanthus emblica acts as a reducing agent for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles
