Story summary
- Green synthesis with Alkanna tinctoria root extract yields smaller, environmentally safer silver nanoparticles than chemical methods.
- Mean size is 19.91 nm, with phytochemicals acting as reducing and stabilizing agents.
- The brown color indicates surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and nanoparticle formation.
- EDX shows 79.24% silver, and carbon and oxygen come from plant-derived capping agents, while FTIR and XRD confirm crystalline structure.
