Abstract
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of extracts prepared from the peel of Amorphophallus campanulatus. The UV-Vis absorption spectrum of silver nanoparticles in peel extract of A.campanulatus showed maximum absorbance at 420 nm. The XRD pattern showed different intensity peaks in the whole of 2? values ranging from 10-900. SEM study demonstrated that the average size was from 50nm. The EDAX Spectrum signal was observed at 3Kev. The other spectral signals such as O, K, Ca, Ag, Si, Cl, and Al were noticed in the EDAX Spectrum. The FTIR spectrum of synthesized silver nanoparticles showed alkyl halides, alkanes, amides and alcohols as different functional groups.
