<p>The present study reports an easy eco-friendly, cost efficient, and rapid method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using palm sprouts as reducing cum capping agent. Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles was successfully performed using palm sprouts plant extract via a simple and cheaper eco-friendly method. Palm sprouts extract reduces silver nitrate to silver nanoparticles. The resulting materials were analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. FT-IR spectrum confirms the presence of various functional groups in the active biomolecules, it acts as a capping agent for the nanoparticles. The morphology of this sample was analyzed through SEM and the presence of silver was confirmed accordingly. The green synthesized Ag NPs exhibited an excellent antibacterial activity against E. coli and P. aeruginosa and B. subtilis and S. aureus besides imparting efficient antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria as well.</p>
