Humic acid - functionalized silver nanoparticles (HA-AgNPs) were successfully synthesized and used to detect Cu (II) ions in aqueous solutions. The HA-AgNPs was shown to have an average hydrodynamic diameter of 101.4 nm and a polydispersity index of 0.447. The absorbance spectra of HA-AgNPs showed the characteristic local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peak of AgNPs at 408.3 nm. Addition of Cu (II) in the HA-AgNPs led to their agglomeration as evidenced by the change in their surface morphology and their corresponding optical absorbance spectra. The synthesized HA-AgNPs showed a strong linear response for Cu (II) concentrations in the range of 0.00 – 1.25 mM with a limit of detection (LoD) of 4.4428 ± 0.1091 mg L-1, a limit of quantification (LoQ) of 14.8094 ± 0.3636 mg L-1, and a limit of blank (LoB) of 0.1214 ± 0.0065 mg L-1. Statistical analysis showed that this calibration curve could be used to quantify Cu (II) concentrations within a 95% confidence level. Furthermore, HA-AgNPs was found to be selective for Cu (II) detection based on the selectivity study against common metal ions found in drinking water. This shows that the synthesized HA-AgNPs can be used as an environment-friendly colorimetric nanosensor for rapid and point-of-need quantification of Cu (II) ions in aqueous media.

AbstractIn this study, we reported an easy, rapid, cost-effective and environmentally benign method for the fabrication of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using Olea ferruginea as reducing, capping and stabilizing agent. For this, an aqueous extract of leaf and bark of O. ferruginea was treated with 1 mM AgNO3, which reduces Ag ions to Ag-NPs by establishing reddish brown color. The synthesized Ag-NPs were spherical crystals, with a mean size of 23 and 17 nm for leaf- and bark-mediated Ag-NPs, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy affirmed the role of leaf and bark extracts of O. ferruginea as reducing, capping and stabilizing agent. These biosynthesized Ag-NPs showed profound antibacterial activity against Gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Streptococcus pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria. The highest antibacterial activity was shown by bark Ag-NPs against S. aureus (14.00 mm), while leaf Ag-NPs showed higher activity against S. pneumonia (13.00 mm). Additionally, they produced effective antioxidant activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) as compared to plant extracts and positive control. It was observed that the bark-mediated Ag-NPs had higher percentage (90%) of scavenging potential than the leaf-mediated Ag-NPs (78%). The significance of the current study is the synthesis of eco-friendly, easy and cost-effective Ag-NPs as biomedical products.
