Abstract :
In this study, describes a rapid and eco-friendly method for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from aqueous solution of silver nitrate using Conyza Canadensis leaf extract in a single-step process. Formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed with different techniques such as UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak of synthesized NPs was observed at 460 nm. XRD and TEM analysis revealed that AgNPs are face-centered, cubic structure being spherical in shape with an average particle size of 20 nm.
