Abstract

In the present study simple method was applied for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Azadirachta indica aqueous leaf extract. The plant extract behaves as reducing agent as well as capping agent. Different techniques like SEM, TEM and UV-Visible spectrophotometer have been used for the characterization of synthesized nanoparticles. UV-Visible spectrophotometer showed absorbance peak in range of 440-450 nm. The silver nanoparticles showed sole detection of Cr(III) ions in the aqueous systems with good selectivity, sensitivity. Results confirmed this protocol as simple and eco-friendly, nontoxic and an alternative conventional physical/chemical methods. Only 30 min were required for the conversion of silver ions into silver nanoparticles at room temperature, without the involvement of any hazardous chemical.
