Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles

Abstract In this report, we present a simple and unexplored procedure for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles featuring exudation of Euphorbia acruensis along with the study of its antibacterial and anticoagulant properties. Analytical techniques like ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were used to analyse the production, crystallinity and morphology of bio-reduced silver nanoparticles. The antibacterial study was performed by following standard disc diffusion method. Most importantly, the anticoagulant and thrombolytic activities of biogenic silver nanoparticles were evaluated by addition of nanoparticles to human blood samples under practical conditions. These green synthesized silver nanoparticles were found to have potent antibacterial, anticoagulant and thrombolytic properties which make them an attractive choice for future medical applications.

 Activated carbon is greatly used to adsorb toxic heavy metals from water bodies. Simultaneous removal of such pollutants and pathogenic impurities is essential for safe drinking water. In this study, silver nanoparticles (NPs) doped activated carbon (AC) composite was fabricated via hydrothermal technique and green synthesis technique using commercial activated carbon powder and silver nitrate solution. Several analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the formation of silver nanoparticles on the surface and pores of AC. The prepared composite materials were accessed for their anti-bacterial property using Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and found that such materials have good antibacterial activity which shows that as fabricated composite can be used potentially for water treatment.

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.

Synthesis Approach

In this work, silver nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized using simple and environmentally friendly ‘green synthesis’ method using Indonesian wild honey as mediator. Particle count and size can be optimized by varying the silver nitrate precursor and honey concentration, with the help of sodium hydroxide as pH regulator. Based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) result, crystalline structure of Ag has been confirmed in sample with impurities from AgCl. Based on dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results, it was found that the smallest average particles size of AgNPs (117.5 nm from DLS and 11.1 nm from TEM) was obtained at sample with 5% w/v of honey and 0.5 mM of AgNO3.

Antimicrobial Evaluation

Synthesizing nanoparticles with the less environmentally malignant approach using plant extract is of great interest; this is because most of the chemical approaches can be very costly, toxic, and time-consuming. Herein, we report the use of Acacia senegal leaf extracts to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using an environmentally greener approach. Silver ions were reduced using the bioactive components of the plant extracts with observable colour change from faint colourless to a brownish solution as indication of AgNP formation. The structural properties of the as-synthesized AgNPs were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV-Vis absorption spectrum. Antimicrobial assessment of the as-synthesized AgNPs was explored on some strains of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The obtained results indicate that the as-synthesized AgNPs are pure crystallite of cubic phase of AgNPs, fairly dispersed with a size range of 10–19 nm. The AgNPs were found to be small in size and exhibit significant antibacterial activities, suggesting that the as-synthesized AgNPs could be used in the pharmaceutical and food industries as bactericidal agents.

A novel composite of Au-functionalized porous silicon (PS)/V2O5 nanorods (PS/V2O5:Au) was prepared to detect NO2 gas. PS/V2O5 nanorods were synthesized by a heating process of pure vanadium film on PS, and then the obtained PS/V2O5 nanorods were functionalized with dispersed Au nanoparticles. Various analytical techniques, such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), have been employed to investigate the properties of PS/V2O5:Au. Herein, the PS/V2O5:Au sample exhibited improved NO2-sensing performances in response, stability and selectivity at room temperature (25[Formula: see text]C), compared with the pure PS/V2O5 nanorods. These phenomena were closely related to not only the dispersed Au nanoparticles acting as a catalyst but also the p-n heterojunctions between PS and V2O5 nanorods. Whereas, more Au nanoparticles suppressed the improvement of response to NO2 gas.

AbstractThe present report summarizes an eco-friendly approach for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the leaf extract of lavender. Initially, the synthesis of AgNPs was visually observed by the appearance of a wine red color. The optical property, morphology, and structure of as-synthesized AgNPs were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses. All characterization data revealed the formation of crystalline and spherical AgNPs (Ag/Ag

A facile method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (NPs) has been developed by using sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) as stabilizing agents and glucose the reducing agent, respectively. The obtained silver NPs have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that in the presence of sodium phosphate, silver NPs with different morphologies and sizes were obtained. The formation mechanism of diverse silver NPs was studied preliminarily.

ABSTRACTPhase evolution during ball milling of Si in NH3 gas and during subsequent annealing has been studied and compared with nitride formation during ion bombardment of Si. X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, Rutherford backscattering and channeling, combustion analysis and transmission electron microscopy have been used as analytical techniques. Results have shown that an amorphous SixNy(Fe) phase forms during milling which transforms into α-Si3N4 and FeSi2 on annealing. During ion bombardment, slightly N-rich Si3N4 is formed but it is mostly crystalline at temperatures between 150 and 450°C.

The bioceramics, calcium hydroxyapatite (HA), is a material which is biocompatible to the human body and is well suited to be used in hyperthermia applications for the treatment of bone cancer. We synthesis hydroxyapatite in modified synthetic body fluid (SBF) solutions at 37°C and pH of 7.4 using a novel chemical precipitation technique. Then after heat operation, on filtered precipitated result HA were produced. For loading the silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on the hydroxyapatite we use AgNO3 solution. And for reducing Ag+ ions apply sodium borohydrate solution. The formations of the silver nanoparticles on the HAP structure were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM image show the nanostructure of silver particles, being formed on hydroxyapatite texture.
