This study shows how to easily make silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Aloe vera leaf extract a simple and green approach. This method offers a biocompatible, economical, and environmentally friendly method without hazardous chemicals. A central composite design (CCD) was used to find the best way to make nanoparticles, adjusting the amount of AgNO, the pH, and the incubation time to see how they all worked together. Samples of the mixture were taken every hour to track the development of nanoparticles using the UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The reaction mixture gradually turned from white to a reddish-brown hue within the first 5 to 10 min, signaling the formation of AgNPs. We found that using 2.2185 mM of AgNO, a pH of 11.91, and a 2.91-h incubation period produced the most AgNPs. Further tests, including UV-Vis spectroscopy, DLS, XRD, FTIR, SEM, and DSC, showed that these nanoparticles were generally spherical, with an average size of 68.79 nm. The sample also had a good PDI of 0.374, and the powder was mostly made up of a highly crystalline Ag-3C silver phase (70.8%). Antimicrobial studies revealed that the synthesized AgNPs exhibited significant inhibitory activity against Salmonella thypae, This research shows that Aloe vera leaf extract can be used to create AgNPs in an environmentally friendly way. These AgNPs show promise for fighting bacteria like E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus, as well as the fungus Aspergillus niger.
本研究展示了如何使用芦荟叶提取物以一种简单且绿色的方法轻松制备银纳米颗粒(AgNPs)。该方法提供了一种生物相容、经济且环保的方式,无需使用有害化学物质。采用中心复合设计(CCD)来寻找制备纳米颗粒的最佳方法,调整硝酸银的用量、pH值和孵育时间,以观察它们如何共同起作用。每小时采集混合物样本,使用紫外可见分光光度计追踪纳米颗粒的生成情况。反应混合物在最初的5至10分钟内逐渐从白色变为红棕色,这表明AgNPs已形成。我们发现,使用2.2185 mM的硝酸银、pH值为11.91以及2.91小时的孵育期可产生最多的AgNPs。进一步的测试,包括紫外可见光谱、动态光散射、X射线衍射、傅里叶变换红外光谱、扫描电子显微镜和差示扫描量热法,表明这些纳米颗粒通常呈球形,平均尺寸为68.79纳米。该样品还具有良好的多分散指数0.374,并且粉末主要由高度结晶的Ag-3C银相(70.8%)组成。抗菌研究表明,合成的AgNPs对伤寒沙门氏菌具有显著的抑制活性。这项研究表明,芦荟叶提取物可用于以环保方式制备AgNPs。这些AgNPs在对抗大肠杆菌、金黄色葡萄球菌以及黑曲霉等细菌方面显示出前景。
