Abstrakt: The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was accomplished through the bio-reduction of silver nitrate using aqueous extract obtained from Parkia speciosa (P. speciosa) seeds and pods. The formation of Ps-AgNPs (Parkia speciosa-AgNPS) was confirmed via UV-Visible spectroscopy, revealing maximum absorption at 461 nm. Various parameters including extract to silver nitrate ratio, time, silver nitrate concentration and were optimized spectrophotometrically. SEM analysis was employed to determine the average particle size of Ps-AgNPs, which measured 50 nm, 90 nm and an average of 60 nm respectively. XRD analyses verified the crystalline nature and presence of silver in the synthesized nanoparticles. The presence and binding of the functional group with the Ps-AgNPs were confirmed using FTIR analysis. The synthesized Ps-AgNPs exhibited antioxidant properties via the DPPH radical scavenging method and reducing power assay. The developed method for synthesizing silver nanoparticles using Parkia speciosa seeds and pods extract represents an eco-friendly and convenient approach. In the near future, these synthesized Ps-AgNPs hold promise for applications in various fields such as biomedicine, biosensors, and nanotechnology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
