The present study explores the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Stachytarpheta indica extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). UV-Vis analysis confirmed the successful formation of AgNPs with a characteristic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak at 420 nm, indicative of well-dispersed and stable nanoparticles. FTIR spectroscopy identified functional groups, such as hydroxyl (-OH) and carbonyl (C=O), involved in nanoparticle stabilization. SEM imaging revealed distinctive floral-shaped nanostructures with an approximate size of 11.5 µm at 1000X magnification, suggesting effective bio-reduction by phytochemicals. These findings align with previous studies on plant-mediated AgNP synthesis, reinforcing the potential of S. indica for eco-friendly nanotechnology applications. The synthesized AgNPs exhibit promising characteristics for antimicrobial and biomedical applications, highlighting their significance in sustainable nanoscience.
