In this study, we employed a fast and straightforward approach to synthesize silver nanoparticles using an a aqueous leaf extract of Azadirachta indica. The plant extract serves as both a reducing agent a capping agent. To identify the specific compounds responsible for the reduction of silver ions, we conducted an investigation of the functional groups present in the plant extract using FTIR analysis. Severel techniques were employed to characterize the synthesized nanoparticles,including DLS, Photoluminescence, TEM, and UV-Visible spectrophotometry. The UV-visible spectrophotometer revealed an absorbance peak within the range of 436-446 nm. The silver nanoparticles exhibited antibacterial properties against both gram-positive microorganism Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative microorganism Escherichia coli.Additionaly ,we evaluated the photoluminescences properties of the synthesized silver nanoparticles. The results confirmed that this protocol is a simple,rapid, one-step,eco-friendly,and non-toxic alternative to conventional physical/chemical method.Remarkably, the conversion of ions into silver nanoparticles was accomplished within only 15 minutes at room temperature, without the use of any hazardous chemicles.
