Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles is a greatly developing area of research. Metallic nanoparticles have received enormous attention from chemists, physicists, biologists, and engineers who wish to use them for the development of a new-generation of nano devices. In this study, silver nanoparticles were biosynthesized from aqueous silver nitrate through a simple and eco-friendly route using Moringa oleifera stalk extracts, which acted as a reductant and stabilizer simultaneously. Characterizations of nanoparticles were done using different methods, which included UV-visble spectroscopy, FTIR, SEM and Antibacterial activity. The ultraviolet-visible spectrum of the aqueous medium containing silver nanoparticles showed an absorption peak at around 450 nm. The most needed outcome of this work will be the development of value-added products from Moringa oleifera for biomedical and nanotechnology-based industries. The present research opens a new avenue for the green synthesis of nanoparticles.
