Abstract

X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) Analysis of Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized from Erythrina Indica Flowers

Highlights

  • Nanoparticles usually speak of particles with a size up to 100 nm with increasing in surface to volume ratio, providing more active surface atoms to contribute the role in applications and improve the properties of the materials [1]

  • Silver nitrate incubated with flower extract showed a color change from yellow to brown within 5 h whereas no color change could be observed in silver nitrate without flower extract

  • Reported that colour change was observed at 90 minutes from light green to light brown colour, indicating the formation of silver nanoparticles which indicated the presence of silver nanoparticles

Summary

Introduction

Nanoparticles usually speak of particles with a size up to 100 nm with increasing in surface to volume ratio, providing more active surface atoms to contribute the role in applications and improve the properties of the materials [1]. The control particle size, particle shape and morphology are very much important in nanoparticles preparation. The most important tool to study the nano materials is X-ray diffraction. X-ray diffraction is one of the most important characterization tools used in solid state chemistry and materials science. XRD is an easy tool to determine the size and the shape of the unit cell for any compound. Silver nanoparticles with particle size are prepared in room temperature and the results are confirmed by XRD. Shape and spacing of nanoparticles, there are various techniques like Lithographic and vacuum deposition of metal, but expensive techniques [2,3,4,5]. The synthesized AgNPs further examined the X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis
