Eco-friendly or green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles has emerged as a key nanotechnology branch and due to their extensive applications, there is a growing industrial demand for nanoparticles. Compared to bulk materials, nanoparticles exhibit advanced characteristics due to their size, distribution and morphology and are commonly used in several medical fields, plant-mediated inexperienced nanomaterial synthesis has gained more and more popularity due to its eco-friendly nature and value-efficacy. In this study, we report the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using leaf extract Mollugo pentaphylla using an eco-friendly and economical way. It has been investigated for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) using the Mollugo pentaphylla leaf extract as a reduction agent from 1mM silver nitrate (AgNO3). The resulting SNPs were characterized by UV–Vis, TEM. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized within 24 hours of the incubation period and synthesized SNPs displayed an absorption peak in the UV-visible spectrum at approximately 424.76 nm. Silver nanoparticles ' morphological analysis using the nanoparticles is spherical in shape. This route is quick, simple without any hazardous chemicals as reducing or stabilizing agents and cost-effective to synthesized SNP.
