GREEN SYNTHESIS OF SILVER OXIDE NANOPARTICLES USING ANETHUM GRAVEOLENS

Abstract

In this study green manufacture of silver nanoparticles using Anethum graveolens leaves extract. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), was used to confirm the morphology of produced AgO-NPs X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies also indicated that Ag-NPs are between 15 and 50 nanometres in size. This green approach produces good yields and is simple to use because it does not require the use of hazardous reagents or a surfactant template. When compared to previous documented methods, this method has the following advantages: environmental compatibility, low cost, and ease of synthesis.
