Abstract :
Synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs)
using water extract of pennyroyal is carried out successfully
at ambient temperature. The obtained Ag NPs were
characterized, using different methods including ultraviolet–
visible spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning
electron microscopy and transmission electron
microscopy (TEM). TEM study showed that mean diameter
and standard deviation for the formation of silver
nanoparticles were 19.14 ± 9.791 nm.
