Abstract

Nanoparticles with unique physiochemical properties can be produced using non-toxic precursors with phyto-nano synthesis. In this study, Nanowire (AgNW) was produced from silver nanoparticles (AgNP) reduced with Lavandula officinalis L. flower extract using the phyto-nano synthesis method. The length of the produced AgNW is 1-20 µm and its diameter is approximately 40-100 nm. Although the reduction of silver was quite fast in the light environment, it was found to be slow in the dark environment. However, the effect of darkness on AgNP stabilization and AgNW formation was quite important. In addition, it was revealed that the main physical factor that enables AgNW to elongate is the mechanics of the environment provided by the centrifuge. Optical and morphological characterization of nanoparticles was done with UV-visible spectrometry and SEM. The crystal structure of the particles was determined by XRD. Energy dispersion spectrums of nanoparticles were determined by EDS. Character and size analysis was performed by TEM. FTIR determination was performed on the extracts to guide the determination of the reduction factors in light and dark. The extracts were also determined by HPLC to give an idea about the role of flavonoid content in the Ag reduction due to light. Accordingly, it was found that aromatic ring compounds with alcoholic groups effectively reduce silver in the dark and promote AgNW formation.

Bitki ekstraktı (Lavandula officinalis L.) ile gümüş nanotel sentezinde fotokatalizin flavonoidler ile ilişkisi

Abstract

Benzersiz fizikokimyasal özelliklere sahip nanopartiküller, toksik olmayan öncüler kullanılarak fito nano sentez ile üretilebilir. Bu çalışmada, Lavandula officinalis L. çiçek özütü ile indirgenmiş gümüş nanoparçacıklardan (AgNP) fito-nano sentez yöntemi kullanılarak Nanotel (AgNW) üretilmiştir. Üretilen AgNW'nin uzunluğu 1-20 µm ve çapı yaklaşık 40-100 nm olarak tesbit edilmiştir. Gümüşün indirgenmesi aydınlık ortamda oldukça hızlı olmasına rağmen karanlık ortamda yavaş olduğu görülmüştür. Bununla beraber karanlığın AgNP stabilizasyonu ve AgNW oluşumu üzerinde kayda değer etkisi olmuştur. Ayrıca AgNW'nin uzamasını sağlayan ana fiziksel faktörün santrifüjün sağladığı ortamın mekaniği olduğu bulunmuştur. Nanopartiküllerin optik ve morfolojik karakterizasyonu UV-Vis spektrometri ve SEM ile yapıldı. Partiküllerin kristal yapısı XRD ile belirlendi. Nanopartiküllerin enerji dağılım spektrumları EDS ile belirlendi. Karakter ve boyut analizi TEM ile yapıldı. Aydınlık ve karanlıktaki indirgeme faktörlerinin belirlenmesine rehberlik etmek için ekstraktlar üzerinde FTIR yapıldı. Ayrıca, ışık ile Ag indirgenmesindeki flavonoid içeriğinin rolü hakkında bir fikir vermesi için numunlere HPLC yapıldı. Buna göre, alkollü gruplara sahip aromatik halkalı bileşiklerinin karanlıkta gümüşü etkili bir şekilde indirgediği ve AgNW oluşumunu teşvik ettiği sonucuna varıldı.
