Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using the aqueous extract of Viscum album Fruit

Abstract

The nanoparticles were called nanoparticles on a scale of 1–100 nm. In addition to the composition and structure of the material, it is also one of the factors affecting the properties of materials. Nowadays, green chemistry and its benefits are stimulating researchers' interest in the environmental biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles. In this study, a rapid, simple and green method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles was prepared using aqueous extract of viscose album. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) methods. The results of SEM, XRD and UV-Vis techniques confirm the synthesis and formation of uniform and spherical shape of silver nanoparticles with average particle size of about 40-70 nm. The aqueous extract of Viscom album demonstrates the strong potential for reducing silver ions and producing silver nanoparticles using a highly cost-effective, clean, non-toxic, eco-friendly method that can be produced on a large scale. Silver synthesis with aqueous extract of tree parasite was first studied in this study.
