The UV-VIS Spectrum Analysis From Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized Using Diospyros maritima Blume. Leaves Extract

Abstract

Research on the biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using plant extracts as reducing agents is growing rapidly because they are eco-friendly and cost-effective. Diospyros maritima Blume. is one of the plant species that had potential in the biosynthesis of AgNPs. In this study, biosynthesis of AgNPs was carried out by varying volume ratio of the extract and AgNO3 (5.0: 1; 2.0: 1; 0.5: 1; 0.2: 1; 0.1: 1) in reaction time (25 minutes, 2, 3, 24, 48, and 96 hours). The phytochemical screening results showed leaves extract of D. maritima contained phenols, flavonoids, saponins, and alkaloids, which may act as a reducing agent of Ag + to Ag0. The biosynthetic solution's color was changed from brown to dark brown or black with the increasing reaction time. The UV-Vis spectra confirmed the formation of silver nanoparticles. The UV-Vis spectrum results showed the highest absorption peaks at 400 nm in solutions with a volume ratio of 0.5 :1, which showed the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) characteristics of silver nanoparticles. From the UV-Vis spectrum can be analized that there are more than one peak of absorption at 350-500 nm in solutions with a volume ratio of 2.0:1. We carried out deconvolution of UV-Vis spectrum to separate each absorption peak. The formation of more than one absorption peak in the UV-Vis spectrum indicates a certain shape and silver nanoparticles size.

“…While for CuO-NP solution, the absorption peak was observed between 200 and 250 nm. These values are consistent with those in the recent literature [24,25].…”

Silver Nanoparticles of Artemisia sieberi Extracts: Chemical Composition and Antimicrobial Activities

“…In the current study, AgNPs produced a SPR peak of 445 nm compared to the crude extract, which did not reveal any absorption peaks. The appearance of an absorption peak at a wavelength of 400-500 nm is an indication that AgNPs were formed [30]. Similar studies reported the UV-visible spectrum of AgNPs biosynthesized from the extracts of A. sieberi at 482 nm [31], 407 nm [32], and 410 nm [33].…”

Wafer-scale silver nanodendrites with homogeneous distribution of gold nanoparticles for biomolecules detection

“…The longitudinal band occurs at higher wavelengths relative to the transverse band in elongated structures. In our case 426 nm corresponds to transverse mode and 696 nm corresponds to longitudinal mode of AgNDs ( Agustina et al., 2020 ; Bijanzadeh et al., 2012 ; Cheng et al., 2019a , 2019b , 2019c ; Wang et al., 2021 ). The dip is predominant for longitudinal mode relative to the transverse mode indicating a greater anisotropy.…”
