Sustainable synthesize of silver nanoparticles using Robinia Neomexicana: Antibacterial, antioxidant and photocatalytic properties

Abstract

Bio-inspired nanoparticles have a wide range of applications, recently received a lot of attention in various domains. By employing Robinia Neomexicana flower extract at room temperature without any additional stabilizing or reducing agents, the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were formed by using a more environmentally friendly and one-pot method. The phytochemicals found in the flower extract of Robinia Neomexicana caused the bio-reduction process. A variety of analytical techniques, including UV–Vis, FT-IR, TEM, EDAX, Raman, SEM, and XRD, were used to substantiate the formation of silver nanoparticles. The synthesized AgNPs were 15 nm in diameter and spherical. The objective of the ongoing research is to develop a natural antioxidant source and nontoxic carrier for use in the medical field. These experiments’ findings point to a natural source of antibacterial and antifungal action as well as nanomedicine application. The results of this study show that antibacterial and antifungal activity was examined as a natural source of antioxidants and nanomedical uses. The cytotoxicity of produced AgNPs was demonstrated by the hemolytic assay with control the synthesized AgNPs have a hemolytic activity of 4.3 % only and the water remediation experiment was carried out and degraded the dye within 100 min.
