Abstract: The phytochemicals present in algae are one of the important sources of reducing and capping agents for the synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs). This paper reports the phytosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (NPs) by using marine algae (Cladophora) as reducing and capping agent due to simple procedure and inexpensive cost required. The morphology, size and composition of Au NPs were confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. The Phytosynthesized gold NPs was used for the photoctalytic degradation of environmental pollutant Orange G under solar light. The degradation was studied with UV-Visible spectral analysis. Due to the smaller size of Au NPs, exhibit great photocatlytic performance.
