Abstract

The development in nanoscience has introduced the use of plant parts for the biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles which offers an alternate to the chemical synthesis. Silver and copper nanoparticles (NPs) are found biologically active so has great importance against infectious microbes. In this paper a green and one pot method was developed for the synthesis of silver and copper nanoparticles from leaf extract of Solanumnigrum plant. The prepared AgNPs and CuNPs were characterized by FTIR, UV–Vis, and XRD. UV–vis spectra of AgNPs displayed maxima absorption peak at 460 nm while CuNPs displayed peak at 400 nm. XRD analysis revealed that AgNPs and CuNPs have crystalline structure with average size 42.7 nm and 27.8 nm respectively. Moreover the synthesized CuNPs showed showed strong antioxidant activity than AgNPs nanoparticles.
