Abstract EN
Algae extract has the great efficiency to synthesize the silver nanoparticles as a green route.
Brown seaweed mediates the synthesis of silver nanomaterials using extract of Sargassum longifolium.
For the improved production of silver nanomaterials, some kinetic studies such as time incubation and pH were studied in this work.
10 mL of algal extract was added into the 1 mM AgNO3 aqueous solution.
The pH and reaction time range were changed and the absorbance was taken for the characterization of the nanoparticles at various time intervals, and the high pH level shows the increased absorbance due to the increased nanoparticles synthesis.
The synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) showing that the shape of the material is spherical, and X-Ray Diffraction value obtained from range of (1 1 1) confirmed synthesized silver nanoparticles in crystalline nature.
TEM measurement shows spherical shape of nanoparticles.
The Fourier Transmittance Infrared spectrum (FT-IR) confirms the presence of biocomponent in the algae extract which was responsible for the nanoparticles synthesis.
The effect of the algal mediated silver nanoparticles against the pathogenic fungi Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans, and Fusarium sp.
S.
longifolium mediated synthesized silver nanoparticles shows cheap and single step synthesis process and it has high activity against fungus.
This green process gives the greater potential biomedical applications of silver nanoparticles.
