Popis: Silver nanospheres (AgNS) with SPR band ∼417 nm was synthesized by Green synthesis, using a pre-hydrolysed liquor (PHL) of Nilgiri wood without any pretreatment. The synthesis was carried out at room temperature and was complete within three hours. The reduction and stabilization of silver is brought about by hemicelluloses present in the pre-hydrolysed liquor. Electrochemical oxidation of nitrite on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with the AgNS in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (PBS) of pH 7.0 was found to occur at 0.86 V with respect to Ag/AgCl. Electrochemical sensing experiments with AgNS/GCE showed a linear range of detection between 0.1 to 8 μM, with detection limit of 0.031 μM and a sensitivity of 580 μA mM−1cm−2.
