Title : Green chemistry, honey-based synthesis of silver nanoparticles and the evaluation of their antibacterial activities
Abstract:
Silver nitrate (AgNO3) nanoparticles have gained significant attention for their antimicrobial and anticancer properties. This study presents a green, sustainable, and cost-effective method for synthesizing AgNO3 nanoparticles via a honey-mediated technique, where the natural sugars and organic compounds in honey act as capping and reducing agents. The physical characterization of the AgNO3 nanoparticles was attempted using SEM. However, the results were inconclusive as to size and morphology of the nps. These honey-synthesized AgNO3 nanoparticles show strong potential as eco-friendly antimicrobials and their efficacy is honey dependent.
