Synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Polyalthia longifolia leaf extract as reducing and capping agent along with D-sorbitol used to increase the stability of the nanoparticles has been reported. The reaction is carried out at two different concentrations (10−3 M and 10−4 M) of silver nitrate, and the effect of temperature on the synthesis of AgNPs is investigated by stirring at room temperature (25°C) and at 60°C. The UV-visible spectra of NPs showed a blue shift with increasing temperature at both concentrations. FT-IR analysis shows that the biomoites played an important role in the reduction of Ag

- A review on green synthesis of silver nanoparticles and their applications (2017, methodology): “NPs can be categorized broadly as inorganic and organic NPs. Inorganic NPs incorporate semi-conductor NPs (like ZnO, ZnS, CdS), metallic NPs (like Au, Ag, Cu, Al), and magnetic NPs (like Co, Fe, Ni), while organic NPs incorporate carbon NPs (like fullerenes, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes).”
