Abstract
The plant-mediated synthesis of nanoparticle is commonly referred to as the âgreen approach,â has attracted a lot of interest recently for manufacturing metal and metal oxide nanoparticles in contrast to physical and chemical methods since it is easy to produce and ecologically benign. Plants include phytochemicals that have been proposed as bio-reductants and capping agents for the production of metal nanoparticles. Thus, the goal of this work was to produce gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using an aqueous extract of Ruellia prostrata root. To confirm the synthesis of AuNPs and evaluate their characterization, the produced AuNPs were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and UV-visible spectrophotometry. The procedure described here could therefore be improved for the production of AuNPs on a wide scale.
