Abstract

Abstract: This study reports the ecofriendly economically, and environmentally benign approach for synthesizing silver nanoparticles using the traditional medicinal herb Pedalium murex mucilage. It's structural, compositional, antibacterial, and antioxidant in vitro biological activity and solar-driven photocatalytic methylene blue dye degradation characterization were investigated. FTIR analysis showed many active sites providing functional groups and their possible role in reducing and capping activity. The P. murex mucilage synthesized and capped AgNPs exhibited 437 nm UV –Vis. peak absorption, 25–45 nm size, spherical shape with significant antibacterial, antioxidant and visible light photocatalytic methylene blue dye (87.13%) in 150 min. The higher biological activity results boost large-scale production of the synthesized silver nanoparticles for many applications. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT: UF0001
