Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Momordica Charantia Fruit Extracts

Article Preview

Abstract:

The synthesis of nanoparticles is in the spotlight in modern nanotechnology. In recent years, the development of competent green chemistry methods for synthesis of metal nanoparticles (NPs) has become a main limelight of researchers. Biological synthesis of nanoparticles using plant extract is currently under exploitation. The first time in this paper we have reported the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by reduction of silver nitrate, using fruit extracts of Momordica charantia (bitter melon); commonly found plant in south East Asia. The reaction process for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles is simple, cost-effective, novel, rapid and eco-friendly route using fruit extract of M. charantia plant, which acted as a reducing and stabilizing agent simultaneously at room temperature. Formation of the nanosilver was confirmed by surface Plasmon spectra using UV-Vis spectrophotometer and absorbance peak at 440 nm. Different silver ion concentration and contact times were experimenting in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The prepared nanoparticles properties were characterized by UV-Vis.
