Eco-friendly green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from Aegle marmelos leaf extract and their antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer and photocatalytic degradation activity.

In this research, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized using leaf extract as the reducing and capping agent. The formation of Ag NPs was confirmed by UV-vis spectrophotometry, and the nanoparticles had a spherical morphology with a size range of ∼30-50 nm. The synthesized Ag NPs exhibited potential anticancer, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activity, showing cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Furthermore, the Ag NPs acted as an excellent photocatalyst, degrading environmentally polluted Basic Fuchsin dye in just 18 minutes. This research demonstrates the potential applications of green-synthesized Ag NPs in various fields.
