Abstract

In the present research work, we report on the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using seed extract of Fenugreek at room temperature. Synthesis of Plasmonic AgNPs is carried out by incubating the seed extract in presence of AgNO3. Formation of AgNPs is confirmed by the appearance of a prominent surface plasmon resonance band in the Uv-visible spectrum at 425 nm. The biosynthesized AgNPs are characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Further, the biosynthesized AgNPs are investigated for their catalytic, electrocatalytic and phenol remediation properties. As-synthesized Ag NPs were tested for their catalytic reduction activity towards the conversion of p-nitro phenol to p-aminophenol in excess of NaBH4. The investigations revealed that the biosynthesized AgNPs excel in their respective applications. Based on the results, present study concludes that AgNPs can be biosynthesized using seed extract of Fenugreek and further can be employed for applications in electrochemical sensing, dye degradation and phenol remediation.
