Rapid green biosynthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles using glucose as a green route

Abstract

The biosynthesis of nanoparticles is an important field in nanotechnology which can be developed as: eco friendly, rapid and green route compared to traditional methods. In this work, green biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using glucose solution as a reducing and capping agent is carried out at ambient temperature. The synthesized Ag-NPs were characterized by UV-Vis, FTIR, XRD and TEM analysis. The UV-Vis spectral studies confirmed the surface plasmon resonance of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles. TEM results showed that mean diameter of silver nanoparticles were about 11 nm.
