Abstract:-
The development of eco-friendly and reliable processes for manufacturing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) represents a significant milestone in the field of nanotechnology. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been widely used as antimicrobial agent in many bacterial strains and microorganisms. Green synthesis is preferable because it is cheap, pollution free and improves environmental and human health safety. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles was achieved by heating aqueous silver nitrate solution with neem ( A. Indica) leaf extract. The reduction of silver ion to silver nanoparticles was confirmed by observing a change in color from reddish to dark brown indicating the formation of AgNPs. The synthesized nanoparticles was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SEM images provided evidence of their mild agglomerated spherical shape.
