Abstract
Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using Areca catechu extract as reducing agent was investigated. The bioreduction of silver ions into silver nanoparticles was monitored using UV-visible spectrophotometry. The synthesized Ag NPs were studied by Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), UV–visible spectroscopy, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue was estimated spectrophotometrically using the green synthesized silver (Ag) as nanocatalyst. Disc diffusion method was used to investigate the antimicrobial properties of the Ag NPs against the tested bacterial strains
