SYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES FROM FLOWER EXTRACT OF ABUTILON INDICUM AND ITS CHARACTERIZATION
S. Shanthi and V. Bharathi*
ABSTRACT
There is an increasing commercial demand for nanoparticles due to
their wide applicability in various areas such as electronics, catalysis,
chemistry, energy, and medicine. This work deals with the synthesis
and characterization of silver nanoparticles using Abutilon indicum
flower. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by using
UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy and FT-IR analysis. The reaction
mixture turned to brownish gray colour after 5hrs of incubation and
exhibits an absorbance peak around 450 nm characteristic of Ag
nanoparticles. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis showed
silver nanoparticles was pure and polydispersed and the size were
ranging from 10-40 nm. The approach of green synthesis seems to be cost efficient, ecofriendly
and easy alternative to conventional methods of silver nanoparticles synthesis.
Keywords: There is an increasing methods of silver nanoparticles synthesis.
