ABSTRACT

Currently, researchers look to natural biological processes such using marine algae, to create dependable and ecofriendly methods for the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles (AgNPs), Using microalgae like Nostoc sp., Lyngbya sp., and Phormidium sp. we have examined the intracellular and extracellular biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles in this study. The microalgae extract contains a variety of active biomolecules, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), oxidase, reductase, NAD-dependent enzymes, lipid, carbohydrates, peptides, protein and pigment. These molecules play a significant role in the formation of nanoparticles and structures in the nanometer range, which is demonstrated by a change in the brown colour that denotes the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Extracted biogenic silver nanoparticles and studies on their characterization are used in a scanning electron microscopy field to analyze a 2D and 3D topographical blueprint. There was a logical relationship between the efficiencies of micro algae in the production of silver nanoparticles and their graphical studies provide a support in the 3 D Luminance imaging technology, Contour map analysis, and micro valley network. The silver nanoparticles pattern was deposited on micro glass slide and imaged by SEM and EDS (FEI Quanta) with Digital Surf Mountain @ surface analysis technology to characterize the silver nanoparticles using electron beam lithography. According to the size, shape, stability, and surface properties of the nanoparticles, the primary methods of characterization of silver nanoparticles are described.
