Eco-Friendly Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles from Flower and Their Catalytic Applications.

The green-chemical preparation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) offers a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional synthesis methods, thereby representing a paradigm shift in the field of nanotechnology. The biological synthesis process, which involves the synthesis, characterization, and management of materials, as well as their further development at the nanoscale, is the most economical, environmentally friendly, and rapid synthesis process compared to physical and chemical processes. flower extract was used for the preparation of AgNPs. The synthesized AgNPs were examined by using UV-visible spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, and TEM analysis. It indicates that AgNPs were formed in good size. AgNPs were applied as a catalyst for the degradation of pollutants, such as methyl orange, Congo red, and methylene blue, which were degraded within 8-16 min. Additionally, the reduction of para-nitrophenol (PNP) to para-aminophenol (PAP) was achieved within 2 min. This work demonstrates a practical, reproducible, and efficient method for synthesizing cost-effective and stable AgNPs, which serve as active catalysts for the rapid degradation of hazardous organic dyes in an aqueous environment.
