​Abstract

​Development of reliable and eco-friendly process for synthesis of nanoparticles is an important step in the field of nanotechnology. The present study reports an environmentally friendly method for silver nanoparticles synthesis using ethanolic extract of Acacia auriculiformis flower that acts as reducing agent. UV-visible spectroscopy was used for quantification of silver nanoparticle synthesis. The synthesized  silver  nanoparticles  were characterized  with UV-Vis Spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning  electron  microscopy  (SEM), Zeta Potential. The green synthesis approach seems to be cost efficient, eco-friendly and easy alternative to conventional methods of silver nanoparticles synthesis.

Keywords: Silver nanoparticles; Acacia auriculiformis; Biosynthesis; Characterization.
