Abstract:
:Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are gaining considerable importance due to their attractive physicochemical properties for many applications. In the present study, (Ag NPs) were synthesized by the reduction of aqueous solutions of silver nitrate (AgNO3) with powder and solvent extracts of Padina pavonia (brown algae). The obtained nanoparticles exhibited high stability, rapid formation of the biogenic process (2 min -3 h), small size (49.58-86.37 nm) (the diameter of formed nanoparticles was measured by TEM and DLS) and variable shapes (spherical, triangular, rectangle, polyhedral and hexagonal). Preliminary characterization of nanoparticles was monitored by using UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and finally by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The ratios of converted Ag NPs were recorded as 88.5; 86.2 and 90.5% in case of P. pavonia powder. extract and chloroform extract, respectively.
