Abstract : Nanotechnology has resulted in significant changes in a variety of fields. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are concerned with the production and application of nanoparticles in various fields. Because of their unusual features, silver nanoparticles have received attention. This research paper focuses on using medicinal plant extract to create silver nanoparticles using green synthesis. Energy efficiency, minimal toxicity, high yields, eco-friendliness, and accessibility are all advantages of green-produced silver nanoparticles. Plants offer many potential capping and bio-reducing agents in nanoparticle manufacturing. The extract of the Boerhavia diffusa leaf was used to synthesize Ag nanoparticles. The produced nanoparticles were characterized using UV and X-ray diffraction techniques. The synthesized material is found to be highly crystalline. Various applications using synthesized Ag nanoparticles were studied. The larvicidal potential and anti-microbial activity were assessed. Further, deploying these particles for developing biosensors with applications in wastewater treatment was done. The silver nanoparticles synthesized following the green pathway exhibited outstanding effectiveness against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms.
