Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Figs (Ficus carica L.) Leaves Extract Syrian
469–479 (2024)

PACS numbers: 68.37.Hk, 81.07.Pr, 82.80.Pv, 87.64.Ee, 87.85.jf, 87.85.Rs

The green nanoscale approach aims to advance development of clean technologies using nanotechnology, to minimize potential environmental and human health risks associated with the manufacture and use of nanotechnology products, and to encourage replacement of existing products with new nanoproducts, which are more environmentally friendly throughout their lifecycle. In addition, to being inexpensive, the easy implementation process and the advantages of synthesis without toxic chemicals are the main reasons of interest. Nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized in many ways, including the biological method, which is an easy, fast, inexpensive and environmentally safe method and depends on using microorganisms or plant extracts. In this study, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are successfully synthesized using figs (Ficus carica) leaf extract. The resulting nanoparticles are examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The spectrum (SEM–EDX) analysis shows that the Ag NPs are of cubical shapes and their elemental composition contains mostly silver. The size of the nanoparticles produced is approximately in the range of 16.9–39.5 nm
