Eco-friendly green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from leaf extract and their antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer and photocatalytic degradation activity.

The present research work, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) was synthesized from silver ions using the reducing and capping agents of leaf extract. Initially, UV-vis spectrophotometry absorption of the Surface Plasmon Resonance centre at 450 nm was confirmed the formation of Ag NPs. Preliminary phytochemical and FT-IR analysis indicate the identification of secondary metabolised flavonoids that act as the reducing and capping agent of the synthesized Ag NPs.
