The present work, for the first time, demonstrates the synthesis of Ag nanoparticles using a Kimchi cabbage extract and its further application in an antibacterial activity. The green synthesized Ag nanoparticles are characterized in detail using comprehensive characterization techniques. The structural, optical, chemical and microstructural properties of the nanoparticles are evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission emission microscopy (TEM) techniques, respectively. The synthesized Ag nanoparticles display effective antibacterial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains. The presented results suggest an effective alternative for toxic and expensive chemical techniques. |
