Description :
Nanoparticles are gaining interest in biomedical applications due to its importance such as anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-cancer agents. Eco-friendly green methods using plant extracts are gaining popularity due to the abundance of raw materials and the production of non-toxic by-products threatening to the environment. For the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) using the leaf extract of Azadirachta indica as a reducing agent from 1 mM silver nitrate (AgNO3) has been investigated. The synthesis silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV/VIS spectroscopy, XRD, EDAX, IR and Scanning Electron Microscopy. Thus from this study it can be concluded that Azadirachta Indica can be effectively used for synthesizing silver oxide nanoparticles.
