Abstract EN
Synthesizing nanoparticles with the less environmentally malignant approach using plant extract is of great interest; this is because most of the chemical approaches can be very costly, toxic, and time-consuming.
Herein, we report the use of Acacia senegal leaf extracts to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using an environmentally greener approach.
Silver ions were reduced using the bioactive components of the plant extracts with observable colour change from faint colourless to a brownish solution as indication of AgNP formation.
The structural properties of the as-synthesized AgNPs were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV-Vis absorption spectrum.
Antimicrobial assessment of the as-synthesized AgNPs was explored on some strains of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
The obtained results indicate that the as-synthesized AgNPs are pure crystallite of cubic phase of AgNPs, fairly dispersed with a size range of 10–19 nm.
The AgNPs were found to be small in size and exhibit significant antibacterial activities, suggesting that the as-synthesized AgNPs could be used in the pharmaceutical and food industries as bactericidal agents.
