Abstract EN
Nowadays plant mediated synthesis of nanoparticles has great interest and achievement due to its eco-benign and low time consuming properties.
In this study silver nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by using Morinda tinctoria leaf extract under different pH.
The aqueous leaf extract was added to silver nitrate solution; the color of the reaction medium was changed from pale yellow to brown and that indicates reduction of silver ions to silver nanoparticles.
Thus synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometer.
Dispersity and morphology was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM); crystalline nature and purity of synthesized silver nanoparticles were revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX).
FTIR spectrum was examined to identify the effective functional molecules responsible for the reduction and stabilization of silver nanoparticles synthesized by leaf extract.
The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized silver nanoparticles was examined by degradation of methylene blue under sunlight irradiation.
Green synthesized silver nanoparticles were effectively degrading the dye nearly 95% at 72 h of exposure time.
