Phyto-Capped Ag Nanoparticles: Green Synthesis, Characterization, and Catalytic and Antioxidant Activities

Nanomaterials

Using a simple approach, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized from green coffee bean extract. The optical color change from yellowish to reddish-brown of the green-produced Ag NPs was initially observed, which was confirmed by the UV-Visible spectrophotometer’s surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) bands at 329 and 425 nm. The functional groups of green coffee-capped Ag NPs (GC-capped Ag NPs) were studied using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, revealing that Ag NPs had been capped by phytochemicals, resulting in excellent stability, and preventing nanoparticle aggregation. The presence of elemental silver is confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray analysis. In addition to the measurement of the zeta potential of the prepared GC-capped Ag NPs, the size distribution is evaluated by the dynamic light scattering. Depending on the nano-morphological study, the particle diameter of Ag NPs is 8.6 ± 3.5 nm, while the particle size of GC-capped Ag NPs is 29.9 ± 4.3 nm, implying ...

A review on phytosynthesis, affecting factors and characterization techniques of silver nanoparticles designed by green approach

International Nano Letters, 2020

Nature has a massive range of diverse species of flora. The phytochemical content of each plant may vary due to the diverse climate and different geographical areas. Several plants have been outlined for their reducing properties and highly exploited for the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles. Moreover, phytochemicals present in plant parts (leaf, root, flower, fruit, etc.) act as both reducing and capping agents for the production of nanoparticles. Plant-mediated nanoparticles have gained so much attention in the present era for its green and rational approach and developed as a green substitute to conventional synthesis approaches. This critical review encloses literature, phytosynthesis methods, and factors affecting the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Also, the main characterization techniques especially, spectroscopic techniques are epigrammatically summarized and discussed here.

Role of Synthetic Plant Extracts on the Production of Silver-Derived Nanoparticles

Plants

The main antioxidants present in plant extracts—quercetin, β-carotene, gallic acid, ascorbic acid, hydroxybenzoic acid, caffeic acid, catechin and scopoletin—are able to synthesize silver nanoparticles when reacting with a Ag NO3 solution. The UV-visible absorption spectrum recorded with most of the antioxidants shows the characteristic surface plasmon resonance band of silver nanoparticles. Nanoparticles synthesised with ascorbic, hydroxybenzoic, caffeic, and gallic acids and scopoletin are spherical. Nanoparticles synthesised with quercetin are grouped together to form micellar structures. Nanoparticles synthesised by β-carotene, were triangular and polyhedral forms with truncated corners. Pentagonal nanoparticles were synthesized with catechin. We used Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy to check that the biomolecules coat the synthesised silver nanoparticles. X-ray powder diffractograms showed the presence of silver, AgO, Ag2O, Ag3O4 and Ag2O3. Rod-like structures were obtai...

Proceedings of The 4th International Virtual Conference on Advanced Scientific Results, 2016

The use of silver nanoparticles in the field of nanomedicine is keeping pace and innovating with the ever expanding horizon of Nanobiotechnology. Ipomea species is widely cultivated and use for different purposes, such as, nutritional, medicinal, ritual and agricultural. The present study deals with the synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles using methonolic extract of Ipomoea indica flowers. UV-visible spectroscopy studies were carried out to assess the formation silver nanoparticles. The formation of Ag-NPs was confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) studies. SEM image revealed that silver nanoparticles are quite polydispersed, the size ranging from 10nm to 50nm. The formation of crystalline silver nanoparticles was confirmed using X-ray diffraction analysis. Extracellular synthesis of Ag nanoparticles using dried biomass appears to be cost effective, eco-friendly to that of conventional methods of nanoparticles synthesis.

Green Synthesis of Metallic Nanoparticles Using Plant Compounds and Their Applications

Emerging Research on Bioinspired Materials Engineering, 2000

The advancement in nanoparticulate system has a great impact in many scientific areas. Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) such as silver, gold and copper were found to exhibit antibacterial and other biological activities. The phytochemical constituents (Tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins and glycosides) present in the plant extracts were used for the green synthesis of NPs of desired size and morphology. Moreover, these active molecules act as reducing and capping agents for the synthe¬sis of NPs, which makes them suitable for biomedical applications. Apart from many approach on synthesis of nanoparticles, green synthesis method becomes more preferable because of its ecofriendly and nontoxic approach. This approach might pave the path for researchers across the globe to explore the potential of different herbs in the synthesis of NPs. This chapter will discuss the synthesis of various metal NPs using plants and their phytochemical constituent's involved during the synthesis. A section devoted to the different applications will be presented.

Current developments in green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles using plant extracts: a review

Metal nanoparticles (MNPs) produced by green approaches have received global attention because of their physicochemical characteristics and their applications in the field of biotechnology. In recent years, the development of synthesizing NPs by plant extracts has become a major focus of researchers because of these NPs have low hazardous effect in the environment and low toxicity for the human body. Synthesized NPs from plants are not only more stable in terms of size and shape, also the yield of this method is higher than the other methods. Moreover, some of these MNPs have shown antimicrobial activity which is consistently confirmed in past few years. Plant extracts have been used as reducing agent and stabilizer of NPs in which we can reduce the toxicity in the environment as well as the human body only by not using chemical agents. Furthermore, the presence of some specific materials in plant extracts could be extremely helpful and effective for the human body; for instance, polyphenol, which may have antioxidant effects has the capability for capturing free radicals before they can react with other biomolecules and cause serious damages. In this article, we focused on of the most common plants which are regularly used to synthesize MNPs along with various methods for synthesizing MNPs from plant extracts.
