Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles of Albizia Lucidior for Anti-oxidant Activity

Abstract

Nanotechnology is an important field of modern research dealing with design, synthesis, and manipulation of particle structures ranging from approximately 1-100 nm. Metal nanoparticles such as Nanotechnology refers to the creation and utilization of materials whose constituents exist at the nanoscale; and, by convention, be up to 100 nm in size. It has the potential to revolutionize a series of medical and biotechnology tools and procedures so that they are portable, cheaper, safer, and easier to administer. In the present study, biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles and its activity on free radical scavenging were investigated. Silver nanoparticles were rapidly synthesized using leaf extract of Albizia lucidior and the formation of nanoparticles was observed within 4 hrs. The results recorded from UV–visible spectrum, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Zeta potential and particle Size analyzer support the biosynthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles. Further, the antioxidant activity of synthesized silver nanoparticles shows effective activity silver nanoparticles were measured 18-25 nm.
