Abstract

In this study simple method was applied for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Curry (Murraya koenigii) leaf extract. The plant extract acts as reducing agent as well as capping agent. Characterization of synthesized nanoparticles was done by different techniques like SEM, TEM and UV-Visible spectrophotometer. UV-Visible spectrophotometer showed absorbance peak in range of 430-440 nm. The silver nanoparticles showed sole detection of Cd(II) ions in the aqueous systems with good selectivity, sensitivity. Results showed 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.
