Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using sago (metroxylon sagu) via autoclaving method. IIUM Engineering Journal. pp. 178-184. ISSN 1511-788X
Abstract
Sago(metroxylonsagu) is a polysaccharide bio resource, which is biodegradable and low in toxicity that can be found in large scale in Mukah, Sarawak. A simple green method of synthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has been developed using sago dissolved in water as the reducing agent. The mixture of dissolved sago and silver nitrate (AgNO3) were autoclaved at 121 °C for 20 minutes. The size, morphologyand structures of the AgNPs formed in the sago solution were investigated through UV-Vis spectrophotemeter, XRDand FESEManalysis. The synthesized AgNPs were spherical in shape and well distributed with average particle sizes of 19.3± 2.7nm.
