BIOLOGICAL SYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES BY USING APPLE (MALUS PUMILA) PEEL AND ITS CHARACTERIZATION
Dipali Markam* and Dr. M. K. Gupta
ABSTRACT
In this study, synthesis of silver nanoparticles has done using extract of apple peels. Nanoparticles can be synthesized by various physical and chemical methods. In this study, an environment friendly biogenic technique has used to produce silver-nanoparticles. Nano particles have synthesized by adding 1mM silver nitrate solution into the plant extract and characterized by UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. The UV-Visible spectrum showed strong absorption peak at 300 to 340 nm. Role of apple peel extract as a reducing and capping agent of silver ion has identified by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The result of Zeta potential showed that silver nanoparticles were 381.3 nm in size. Biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticle is a rapid and simple method which can be used in place of hazardous chemicals. Eco-friendly plant material is used as reducing or stabilizing agent which is economic and cost effective. Synthesis of nano-particles was confirmed by UV-Spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy and Zeta potential. This study also promotes the green technology to produce silver-nanoparticles.
Keywords: In this study, synthesis nano-particles produce silver-nanoparticles.
