Abstract:

An experiment on green synthesis of silver nanoparticles and their characterization was carried out during 2018 to 2020 at University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was done using bark extract of Cinnamomum zeylanicum. Characterization was done through UV-Visible spectrophotometer, Particle Size Analyzer, Atomic Force Microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope, Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray Diffraction. The biosynthesised AgNPs showed absorption peak at 428.7 nm with an average particle size of 38.5 nm. SEM revealed that nanoparticles were spherical in shape and EDAX confirmed presence of silver ions in biosynthesized sample. AFM confirmed a smooth and monodispersed particles and XRD showed crystalline structure of nanoparticles.
