Abstract
Jatropha integerrima plant is well known for its antiplasmodial, antituberculosis, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. Current work reports the phyto-fabrication of silver nanoparticles (JI@AgNPs) using Jatropha integerrima flower extract (JIFE). This bio-synthesis route of nanoparticles substitutes chemical synthesis due to its cost-effectiveness, eco-friendly, and sustainable approach. Various analytical techniques such as UV–vis spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared spectra (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED), Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) were performoed to characterize the synthesized silver nanoparticles. Zeta potential measurements were done to determine the charge on the nanoparticles. The catalytic activity of JI@AgNPs towards the degradation of rhodamine-B (Rh-B) was evaluated. The reaction kinetics and effect of reaction parameters were also investigated.
