Abstract
Eco-friendly preparation of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) is a greatly evolving field of scientific research. These types of NPs have gained substantial recognition from scientists, including chemists, chemical biologists and technologists, who have successfully exploited them for the fabrication of a variety of advanced nanodevices. Herein, silver (Ag) NPs were synthesized by a green approach using the aqueous extract of Vaccinium oxycoccos (cranberry), which not only reduced the silver ions but also stabilized the surface of the resultant Ag NPs. The formation of Ag NPs is confirmed by different analytical techniques, including powder X-ray diffraction, UV analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The UV analysis of the aqueous solution of the reaction mixture demonstrated an absorption band at ~450 nm, which is the typical peak of Ag NPs, leading to the confirmation of product formation. While the XRD confirmed the crystallinity of the sample and the formation of a face-centered cubic (fcc) structure, on the other hand, TEM revealed the presence of spherical NPs with an approximate size range between 5–30 nm. Furthermore, the as-obtained Ag NPs were subjected to thorough investigations to explore the biomedical potential of the sample. In this case, the Ag NPs demonstrated considerable antioxidant and antifungal properties towards various pathogens. In addition, Ag NPs also showed substantial inhibition of spore germination.
