Green Synthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles from Capparis Spinosa Leaf Extract
Journal: Revista de Chimie
Year: 2021

The current study reports the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Capparis spinosa leaf extract acting as a capping and reducing agent. The characterization of AgNPs was confirmed using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Visible), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The plant extract used reduces Ag+ into AgNPs within a few minutes as indicated by the changed color, from y
