University of the Punjab, PakistanNanotechnology, one of the most dynamic areas of research and fastest growing market, has increased exponentially now as days because of its application in various fields. The development of ecofriendly products using available resources to acquire maximum production, better yield and stability is a great challenge for nanotechnology. In this study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized via green method using leaves extract of Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) plant as reducing and capping agent. The effects of various factors responsible in controlling the synthesis process i.e., reaction pH, time, temperature, reagent concentration, volume of plant extract including its preparation method and solvent type were studied. The formation of nanoparticles was confirmed through UV-spectrophotometer and the product showed absorbance peak in range of 420-440 nm. The size of nanoparticles was determined by zeta sizer proved to be 22-30 nm and the functional groups attached to stabilize the nanoparticles were also investigated using FTIR technique. Other techniques such as SEM, EDX and XRD were also employed to study the characteristics of developed nanoparticles. It is concluded from the results that using the plant resources in synthesis of silver nanoparticles is a simple, single step, fast, cost effective and nontoxic approach for synthesis of silver nanoparticles can be applied in agriculture, biomedical and other fields.

Abstract :

Nanotechnology, one of the most dynamic areas of research and fastest growing market, has increased exponentially now as days because of its application in various fields. The development of ecofriendly products using available resources to acquire maximum production, better yield and stability is a great challenge for nanotechnology. In this study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized via green method using leaves extract of Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) plant as reducing and capping agent. The effects of various factors responsible in controlling the synthesis process i.e., reaction pH, time, temperature, reagent concentration, volume of plant extract including its preparation method and solvent type were studied. The formation of nanoparticles was confirmed through UV-spectrophotometer and the product showed absorbance peak in range of 420-440 nm. The size of nanoparticles was determined by zeta sizer proved to be 22-30 nm and the functional groups attached to stabilize the nanoparticles were also investigated using FTIR technique. Other techniques such as SEM, EDX and XRD were also employed to study the characteristics of developed nanoparticles. It is concluded from the results that using the plant resources in synthesis of silver nanoparticles is a simple, single step, fast, cost effective and nontoxic approach for synthesis of silver nanoparticles can be applied in agriculture, biomedical and other fields.
