Green Synthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles by Using Aloe vera Plant Extract
Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are important materials that have been studied extensively. Biosynthesis of Ag NPs from plants has an important role in biomedical science and drug discovery application. Green synthesis of Ag NPs is a growing research area because of their potential applications in nanomedicines. Hence, in the present study, we investigated the green synthesis of Ag Nps from silver nitrate using leaves extracts of Aloe vera. The synthesized NPs were characterized by UV-Visible (UV-VIS) spectrophotometer, Fourier transform spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Zeta Potential. Keywords: Aloe vera, Fourier transform spectroscopy (FT-IR), silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), UV-Visible (UV-VIS) spectrophotometer, Zeta Potential Cite this ArticlePurendra Singh.
