Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by bioreduction of silver nitrate using the aqueous leaf extractof Combretum indicum (CI-AgNPs). The synthesized CI-AgNPs exhibited a distinct absorption peakat 414 nm in UV-vis spectroscopy. Various parameters such as pH, temperature and time were optimizedusing spectrophotometry. The particle size of the CI-AgNPs was 48 nm as evaluated from the laserparticle size analyzer. The XRD and EDX analyses confirmed the presence of silver in silvernanoparticles. Synthesized CI-AgNPs revealed significant antioxidant, antimicrobial (againstEscherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) and photocatalytic (against methylene blue under sunlightirradiation) activities. Thus, an eco-friendly method was developed to synthesize silver nanoparticlesusing the C. indicum leaf extract.
