Microwave Assist Green Synthesis of Silver Nano Particles Using Rhynchostylisretusa(L.) Blume Leaf Extract and Its Antioxidants Activity

A novel green approach for the synthesis and stabilization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using water extract of Rhynchostylisretusa(L.) Blume leaf has been developed. As obtained, the nanoparticles are characterized by UV-visible (UV-Vis), FTIR, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and SEM analysis. The crystalline nature of the AgNPs is confirmed by the prominent peaks in the XRD pattern. FTIR spectra suggest that the possible biomolecules are responsible for the efficient stabilization of the sample. The prepared nanoparticle shows good antioxidant activity.
