A novel, green, rapid, nonchemical route hydrothermal assisted biosynthesis of Ag nanomaterial by blushwood berry extract and evaluation of its diverse applications

Silver nanoparticles (Ag Nps) were synthesised using blushwood berry seeds extract as a reducing agent via hydrothermal route. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, UV–vis, SEM, EDAX and TEM analysis. Moreover, silver nanoparticles were tested for photoluminescence, photocatalytic...

More Information
Summary:Silver nanoparticles (Ag Nps) were synthesised using blushwood berry seeds extract as a reducing agent via hydrothermal route. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, UV–vis, SEM, EDAX and TEM analysis. Moreover, silver nanoparticles were tested for photoluminescence, photocatalytic, antibacterial and anticancer studies. The TEM images clearly reveal the average particle size of 30 nm. Furthermore, photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue by Ag Nps has shown good photocatalytic activity. The photoluminescence studies for the synthesized material exhibited yellow emission by exciting at 436 nm. Antibacterial activity of the Ag Nps were carried out by disc diffusion method against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains. Ag Nps show the significant antioxidant activity through scavenging of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals. Furthermore, in vitro studies revealed dose-dependent cytotoxic effects of Ag Nps treated MCF-7, A549 and PC-3 cell lines. This is the first report on the hydrothermal synthesis of Ag Nps using blushwood berry extract. Results of present study could contribute to synthesize new and cost-effective drugs from blushwood berry using Ag Nps as nanocatalyst by green approach.
