In the present work, we demonstrated the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by highly stable, economic and eco-friendly method using leaf extract of Terminalia arjuna (T. arjuna) and employing as a catalyst for the degradation of methyl orange (MO), methylene blue (MB), congo red (CR) and 4- nitrophenol (4-NP). The biosynthesis of AgNPs was visually validated through the appearance of reddish-brown color and further confirmed by the UV-spectra at 418 nm. The TEM and FE-SEM studies revealed the spherical shape of particles with size ranged between 10-50 nm. Face centered cubic crystalline nature of AgNPs was proved by XRD analysis. The negative value of zeta potential (-21.7) indicated the stability of AgNPs and elemental composition was confirmed by EDS. FT-IR analysis revealed the functional groups present in the plant extract trigger the biosynthesis of AgNPs. The AgNPs exhibited strong degradation of MO (86.68%), MB (93.60%), CR (92.20%) and 4NP (88.80%) by completing the reduction reaction within 20 min. The reaction kinetics followed the pseudo-first-order and displayed k-values (rate constant) 0.166 min, 0.138 min, 0.182 min and 0.142 min for MO, MB, CR and 4-NP respectively. This study showed an efficient, feasible and reproducible method for the biosynthesis of eco-friendly, cheap and long-time stable AgNPs and their application as potent catalysts against the degradation of hazardous dyes.
在本工作中,我们展示了使用Terminalia arjuna(T. arjuna)叶提取物通过高度稳定、经济和环保的方法合成银纳米粒子(AgNPs),并将其用作降解甲基橙(MO)、亚甲基蓝(MB)、刚果红(CR)和 4-硝基苯酚(4-NP)的催化剂。AgNPs 的生物合成通过出现红棕色外观进行了直观验证,并通过在 418nm 处的 UV 光谱进一步确认。TEM 和 FE-SEM 研究表明,颗粒呈球形,尺寸在 10-50nm 之间。XRD 分析证明了 AgNPs 的面心立方晶态性质。负的zeta 电位(-21.7)表明了 AgNPs 的稳定性,EDS 证实了元素组成。FT-IR 分析表明,植物提取物中的官能团引发了 AgNPs 的生物合成。AgNPs 在 20min 内完成还原反应,对 MO(86.68%)、MB(93.60%)、CR(92.20%)和 4NP(88.80%)表现出强烈的降解作用。反应动力学遵循拟一级反应,并显示出 MO(k 值(速率常数)为 0.166 min)、MB(k 值为 0.138 min)、CR(k 值为 0.182 min)和 4-NP(k 值为 0.142 min)的 k 值。该研究展示了一种高效、可行且可重复的方法,用于生物合成环保、廉价且长时间稳定的 AgNPs,并将其作为潜在催化剂应用于危险染料的降解。
