Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles/microparticles Using Extract of Acacia nilotica Seeds and Their Characterization.

Aqueous extract of acacia nilotica seeds is used as reducing agent for the environmentally and eco friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles. AgNPs were rapidly synthesized using aqueous extract of acacia nilotica seeds with AgNO3 solution within 20min the green synthesized AgNPs were characterized by using physic- chemical techniques viz., Uv-Vis, x-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) coupled with X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) characterized Aqueous extract of The acacia nilotica seeds The X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the synthesized silver nanoparticles are face centered cubic structure. The nanoparticles obtained seeds extract were spherical shaped with an average diameter of 72nm.
