The plant-mediated synthesis of nanoparticles is a best connecting link of green chemistry that connects nanotechnology with plants. An eco-friendly biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles is cheap & good alternative method than any toxic & chemical methods known. In this current study, the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNp) by using flower petals of hibiscus rosa sinensis plants were identified by observing color changes after the addition of flower extract in metal nitrite solution. This report includes results and discussion about the synthesized silver nanoparticles. Structural characterization of the biosynthetic silver nanoparticles from the plant extract were carried out by using UV-Visible spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) for understanding the involvement and interactions of functional groups and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) which approved the synthesis of nanoparticles.
