Abstract

Radix Lithospermi phytonutrients were used to reduce and stabilize the biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The bioreduction kinetics were explored utilizing a one-variable-at-a-time technique to understand the effects of process parameters. Intense yellow color and a strong peak at 406 nm in the UV–Vis absorption spectra indicated the successful synthesis of AgNPs. The optimized condition showed nano size (12.44 ± 2.5 nm) spherical particles with crystalline (d-spacing = 0.234 nm) nature and well stabilized (zeta potential = − 16.9 mV) by being encapsulated with plant phytonutrients. The XRD confirms the structures of the particles are correlated with crystallographic planes of the face-centered cubic structure of metallic Ag-crystals. The biogenic AgNPs showed excellent antibacterial activity with a bacterial reduction of 93.08% on S. aureus (zones of inhibition = 7.19 ± 0.91 mm) and 91.67% on E. coli (zones of inhibition = 6.23 ± 0.85 mm). The catalytic performance demonstrates nearly 100% dye degradation within 20 min with the kinetic constants (k) of 0.04945 min−1 (r2 = 0.9878) and 0.3235 min−1 (r2 = 0.9363) for mordant blue and naphthol blue-black, respectively. The current study proposes a simple/green synthesis of AgNPs that may be a viable option for bacterial reduction and wastewater treatment.
