Synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Matricaria recutita (Babunah) plant extract and its study as mercury ions sensor

Silver (Ag) nanoparticles comprise a highly selective approach for development of nanosensors for the detection of Hg2 + ions. When Ag nanoparticles mixes with Hg2 + ions, loses its UV–Vis absorption intensity. Here, green synthesis of Ag nanoparticles was done using plant extract of Matricaria recutita (Babunah) under ambient conditions. Biosynthesized Ag nanoparticles are well-dispersed having quasi-spherical shape and average particle size of...
