Preparation and analysis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by plant extract techniques of green tea and study optical and structural properties
Abstract
In order to study the green creation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by decreasing the Ag+ ions in a silver nitrate solution, green tea plant extract was utilized. The generated AgNPs were examined by UV-Vis spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The produced AgNPs were 685 nm in size, spherical in shape, polydispersed in nature, and exhibited a maximum absorbance at 416 nm. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus were successfully combatted by the AgNPs.
