The aim is to develop an eco-friendly method for synthesizing silver nanoparticles using neem leaf extract and evaluate their antimicrobial properties.
Synthesize silver nanoparticles using aqueous neem leaf extract as a reducing and capping agent.
Characterize the synthesized nanoparticles using UV-Visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, FTIR, TEM, and SEM.
Test the antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Silver nanoparticles showed a characteristic SPR absorption band at 420 nm, confirming successful synthesis.
The average nanoparticle size was found to be 15-28 nm with a face-centered cubic structure.
Significant antimicrobial activity was observed with clear zones of inhibition against both bacteria tested.
