Antimicrobial Activity of Biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles Decorated Silica Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: The production of cheap and effective compound for medicinal application is a major challenge for scientific community. So, several biological materials have been explored for the possible application in material synthesis which are useful in biomedical uses. Here, biomolecules from green tea leaves were functionalized on the surface of silicon dioxide nanoparticles (GSiO₂ NPs). Next, the decoration silver (Ag) NPs on the surface of the GSiO₂ NPs was observed in very short time of incubation in aqueous AgNO₃. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy confirmed the formation of Ag NPs and the high-resolution transmission and scanning electron microscopies confirmed the decoration of spherical Ag NPs of 10 to 15 nm size on the surface of GSiO₂ NPs. The anti
