Morphological Characteristics Of Biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles Derived From Ficussepticaleaf Ethanolic Extract

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the morphological characteristics of biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs)derived fromFicussepticaleaf ethanolic extract. The extracts were subjected to UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Scanning Electron Microscopy and FTIR analysis for characterization and confirmation of the biosynthesized AgNPs.
The ethanolic extract of Ficusseptica was found to be effective in the biosynthesis of AgNPs in this research. Scanning Electron Microscopy was used to investigate the morphological dimensions of produced AgNPs from Ficusseptica ethanolic extract.The SEM revealed that the particles demonstrated an average size ranging from 77 nm to 103 nm, whereas shapes are spherical.
