Microstructural analysis of silver nanoparticles resulted through bioreduction using Abelmoschus esculentus leaf extract

Abstract

Abstract Microstructural analysis of silver nanoparticles produced through bioreduction using Abelmoschus esculentus leaf extract was carried out. Biosynthetic reactions produce silver nanoparticles by mixing Ag+ and Abelmoschus esculentus leaf extracts. The formation of nanoparticles characterized by changes in the solution from yellow to brown. Silver nanoparticles were analyzed using XRD, and the analysis results show that the average size of silver nanoparticle crystals is 41.9 nm with strain and stress values of 7.5 x 10 −5 and 0.4908 MPa, respectively. The calculation results show that silver nanoparticles produced have energy density and dislocation density crystals 3.72 J/m 2 and 5.9 x 10 22 m − 2. Based on the prediction of the mechanism carried out the bioreduction process occurs through the use of quercetin-4”-O-methyl-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside compounds with the orientation of the crystal are FCC and BCC.
