Synthesis of Plant-Mediated Silver Nanoparticles Using Cyperus Difformis Flower Extract and Evaluation of Its Antioxidant and Anticancerous Activity

Abstract

Environment-friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles is done by using Cyperus difformis flower extract. The AgNPs were synthesized by using a simple and cost-effective method. The synthesised AgNPs were characterized by using FTIR, XRD, FE-SEM/EDS, HR-TEM, ICP-AES and TGA. The HR-TEM shows particle size in the range of 4.03965+215.32112 nm-54.42014+4.13582 nm. The particle size of AgNPs by using HR-TEM analysis have good agreement with XRD analysis. These AgNPs show remarkable results for Anticancerous activity and antioxidant activity. The Anticancerous activity of biosynthesized AgNPs suggests their possible application in the medical industry.
