Biosynthesis of Eco-Friendly Cajanus Cajan Mediated Gold Nanoparticles (AuNPs) against Biofilm Organisms

Abstract :

In the present investigation theme is cost effective and environment friendly gold nanoparticles were synthesized using the Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) leaves extract as the reducing agent. The plant leaves extract may act both as reducing agents and stabilizing agents in the synthesis of nanoparticles. The various phytochemicals present in plant extract used for the reducing and stabilization of nanoparticles. Synthesized nano particles is confirmed by the change of colour. Furthermore, this green synthesis approach is rapid and better alternative to chemical and physical synthesis and also effective for the large scale synthesis of gold nanoparticles. The synthesized gold nanoparticles were characterized by UV-vis spectrophotometry, Scanning Electron Microscopy, X -ray Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy, DLS-Size Distribution and Zeta potential.
