Abstract

In the present work, a simple and low cost and eco-friendly technique is applied for the microwave assisted synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the extract of pomegranate peel wastes, which does not require any use of external stabilizing agent. The extract of pomegranates peelings waste served as a reducing as well as capping/stabilizing agent. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission eelectron microscopy (TEM), FT-IR, UV-visible spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDX). The stability of AgNPs was analyzed by zeta potential measurements. The antibacterial activity of synthesized AgNPs was also evaluated on six Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria using agar well diffusion method.
