Photocatalytic degradation, sensing of Cd2+ using silver nanoparticles synthesised from plant extract of cissus quadrangularis and their microbial activity

Abstract

Abstract The green synthesis of Silver (AgNPs) and Silver- Cerium(Ag@Ce NPs) nanoparticles is a convenient rapid and eco-friendly method compared to traditional synthesis methods. The green plant extract synthesized from Cissusquadrangularis (CQ). The synthesized Ag and Ag@ Ce nanoparticles were confirmed by UV in the range occur at 370 and 350\u202fnm. The Ag and Ag@ Ce nanoparticles were examined by XRD, FTIR. SEM-EDAX. The SEM-EDAX analysis showed the size and shape moropology Ag and Ag@Cenanoparticles. The green Synthesised of AgNPs performed to sense Cd2+ ion and photo catalytic degradation of methylene blue dye. The green synthesized Ag and Ag@ Ce using Cissusquadrangularis plant extract exhibited a good antibacterial activity.
