The Effect of Light on the Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles in Biological Systems

Journal Title: Nature & Science - Year 2024, Vol 6, Issue 11

Abstract

Abstract This study explores the influence of light on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) within biological systems. Silver nanoparticles are known for their unique properties, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and catalytic activities, making them valuable in various biomedical and environmental applications. Biological synthesis methods, which are eco-friendly and sustainable, often involve the use of plants, microorganisms, and enzymes as reducing agents. The role of light in enhancing or controlling the synthesis of AgNPs is particularly significant. Light can influence the size, shape, and distribution of the nanoparticles by affecting the reduction processes. Different wavelengths of light (UV, visible, etc.) can accelerate or modulate the synthesis, offering a tool for optimizing nanoparticle characteristics for specific applications. The study highlights that light-assisted synthesis not only provides a greener alternative by reducing the need for harsh chemicals but also offers precise control over nanoparticle formation.
