Since the beginning of recorded history, silver has been used to heal burns, ulcers, and various bacterial diseases in the way that involves metallic silver, silver nitrate, and silver sulfadiazine. However, utilization of these silver compounds has dramatically decreased as a result of the development of several medicines. In the present work, an effortless green synthesis approach for the production of stable silver nanoparticles using the halophyte plant Nyctanthes arbor-tristis and Terminalia chebula as the reducing/stabilizing agent was reported. The obtained silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were further characterized through UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Transmission electron microscope (TEM). Using UV-vis spectrophotometer the stability and also the formation of the Ag Np was tracked. Based on the growth kinetics of gram (+) Bacillus, gram (-) E Coli, and also Aspergillus niger. NPs from both the plants showed good antimicrobial activity with T. chebula showing the best result. None of the NPs from either of the plants showed antifungal activity. T. chebula-AgNP also showed good antioxidant activity compared to Nyc-AgNPs. In our study, we also found the NPs from both plants showing good photo-catalytic degradation of malachite green than methylene blue dye, with Nyc-AgNP showing the best result.
