Silver and Iron Nanoparticles - Green Synthesis and Characterization.pdf

ABSTRACT:

Biosynthesized nanoparticles (NPs) are gaining traction because they leverage physiologically active plant secondary metabolites, enabling eco-friendly synthesis and offering exclusive biological benefits. This innovative nanomedicine technology shows great promise in medicine, providing a novel method for drug delivery and treatment. The advancement of biosynthesized nanomedicine has notable implications for the pharmaceutical and medical sectors, presenting a more precise and effective way to address diseases. This paper introduces a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and dependable method for synthesizing silver and iron NPs. The method involves employing the aqueous leaf extract of Vallisneria spiralis Linnaeus. The biosynthesized NPs were analyzed utilizing several methods, including transmission electron microscope (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), UV−visible spectroscopy, and ICP-MS.

Keywords: Vallisneria spiralis, Ag-NPs, Fe-NPs, Green synthesis, Characterization.
