METHOD FOR SYNTHESISING PLANT BASED SILVER NANOPARTICLES

Abstract

ABSTRACT A method (100) for synthesising plant based silver nanoparticles, the method (100) comprising the steps of grinding O. basilicum seeds to obtain a paste, boiling the paste at a temperature in the range of 50-80 degree Celsius for a time period of 1-2 hours to obtain a sterilised mixture, adding the sterilised mixture in a silver solution followed by continuous stirring to obtain a homogeneous solution of silver nanoparticles, separating the silver nanoparticles by subjecting the homogeneous solution to centrifugation and dehydrating the separated silver nanoparticles at a temperature in the range of 60 – 80 degree Celsius. <>
