Abstract

Plants are one of the richest sources of biomolecules on earth. In the last decade there has been an increasing interest of researchers and scientists on exploration of antimicrobial and medicinal properties of plants. It is with entry and amalgamation of nanotechnology with phytochemistry, which opened new dimensions. Synthesis of metallic nanoparticles mediated by plant extracts emerged rapidly and had significant explorations. The synthesized metallic nanoparticles are characterized for their size, shape and stability using several techniques such as UV-Visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microsope (SEM), Dynamic light scattering analysis (DLS). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of nanoparticles is a comparatively new entry in this list. X-ray diffraction analysis provides concrete information regarding structure and crystalline size of nanoparticles, and it can play pivotal role in characterization of nanoparticles.
