Fabrication of Silver Nanoparticle Using Aqueous Leaf Extract of Talinum Portulacifolium and Its Antimicrobial Activities

Abstract

The escalating issue of antibiotic resistance has prompted a quest for innovative antimicrobial solutions. Among these, nanoparticles produced through environmentally friendly methods have garnered significant interest for their potential antimicrobial attributes. Nanoparticles are used immensely due to its small size, orientation, physical properties, which are reportedly shown to change the performance of any other material which is in contact with tiny particles. These particles can be prepared easily by different chemical, physical and biological approaches. But the biological approach is the most emerging approach of preparation, because this method to easier than the other methods, ecofriendly and less consuming. This investigation centers on the production of silver nanoparticle using the leaves of Talinum portulacifolium The biosynthesized silever nanoparticle derived from Talinum portulacifolium leaves were subjected to comprehensive characterization through various techniques. In the UV-visible spectrum analysis, the silver nanoparticles exhibited maximum absorption peak at 380 nm. XRD analysis indicated that the silver particles generated in our experiments existed in the form of nanocrystals, as evidenced by peaks at 2
