Abstract
The present work introduces a microwave assisted one pot green synthesis of gold nanoparticles using fresh leaves of a medicinal plant, Biophytumsensitivumas both the reducing and capping agent. The green synthesized gold nanoparticles are characterized using UV-vis, FT-IR, XRD, HRTEM and EDX analysis. The synthesized stable gold nanoparticles show a characteristic surface plasmon resonance peak at 534 nm in UV-vis. X-ray diffraction study confirms the crystalline nature of nanoparticles. The transmission electron microscopic analysis shows that the average size of nanoparticles is 37.92 nm.The catalytic properties of the synthesised green gold nanoparticles is depicted in the degradation of organic azo dye, congo red by sodium borohydride.The degradation reaction follows pseudo first order kinetics.
