Abstract
In the present study the synthesis of silver nanoparticles has been carried out from the Aerva lanata aqueous Leaf extract. The reduction of silver nitrate led to the formation of Silvernanoparticles within one day at room temperature. The size, shape and elemental analysis were carried out using TEM with EDX, FT-IR and visible absorption spectroscopy. The prepared AgNPs showed surface Plasmon resonance center at 425 nm with average particle size of 15-20 nm. Crystalline nature of the nanoparticles is confirmed from the XRD patterns. From the FTIR spectra it is found that the biomolecules are responsible for capping in silver nanoparticles. The synthesized silver nanoparticles have been investigated against human pathogenic bacteria.
