An important aspect of nanotechnology is the development of reliable methods for the synthesis of nanomaterials in vitro that in view of the size, composition and shape can be controlled. In recent years, with increasing environmental problems, many due to green chemistry and attempts for the synthesis of nanomaterials through the environmental clean methods increased. The use of biological organisms for the clean synthesis of nanomaterials is important. In this article we report the synthesis of silver nanoparticles from silver nitrate solution by extract of black pepper from silver nitrate aqueous solution in various environment pH, 9, 10, 12 and 13. Then crystalline structure, morphology and optical properties of these nanoparticles is presented. Prepared samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Visible Spectrometer (UV-vis) and Scattering Electron Microscope (SEM).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
