A Review on Synthesis, Characterization and Application of Silver Oxide Nanoparticles

Abstract

              The Green synthesis of Silver oxide Nanoparticles serves as an eco-friendly route using phytochemical from plant extract for reduction, capping and stabilization of nanoparticles.   This review highlights the biosynthesis via petals of flowers, leaves, stem and root extract from herbal plants, focusing their role as bio-reducing agents.  Essential variables include the extract concentration, pH, temperature and reaction time characterized by UV-Vis, XRD, FT-IR, TEM analysis revealing crystalline size with unique morphologies.  Herbal part indicated flower extract yields spherical nanoparticles, leaf & stem extract yields broad spectrum in anti-oxidant activity and root extract yields potential cytotoxic result from alkaloid and terpenoid.  The scope of nanoparticles includes biomedicine, environmental remediation and agriculture.  This overview demonstrated green nanotechnology’s potential for sustainable solution.
