Abstract
Nanotechnology is becoming a new area of interest increasing research and industry since the1980. In the past de, considerable attention has been paid for the development of novel strategies for the synthesis of different kind of nano object. Nanomaterials exhibit unique properties because of their size, distribution and morphology compared with larger particles. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are the noble metal nanoparticles that have been studied extensively due to its various biological properties. Silver has been known to be a potent photocatalytic, antimicrobial, antifungal, anticancer and antiviral properties. The present work is focused on the Senna auriculata L. plant flower mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles for antimicrobial, antioxidant and photocatalytic applications.To investigste the green synthesis of silver nano particles Senna auriculata, and the elevation of their antimicrobial activities was observed that Senna auriculata leaf extract can reduce the silver ions into silver nano particles. The formation and stability of the reduced silver nano particles in the colloidal solution was monitored by UV visible spectrophotometer analysis. SEM and FITR spectra the leaf extract was used to determine the presence of silver nano particles.
