Abstract

The silver nanoparticles were fabricated by reduction of Ag+ to Ag0 using aqueous extract of Citrus limon peel which grown in Ramsar, province of Mazandaran, North of Iran. Synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by means of UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD and SEM for determination size and shape of synthesized silver nanoparticles. The silver nanoparticles in average size of 20-50 nm were fabricated phytochemically using aqueous extract of Citrus limon peel.
