NOVEL APPROACHES OF CONDIMENT EXTRACT SYNTHESIS OF NICKEL NANOPARTICLES FOR ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITIES: A GREEN EXPERTISE.

The recent development and implementation of new technologies has led to new era of nano revolution which unfolds the role of plants in bio and green synthesis of nano materials [1].Metallic nanoparticles are being utilized in every phase of science along including medical fields and are still charming the scientists to explore new dimensions, generally attributed to their corresponding small sizes. The upcoming researches have proven their antimicrobial significance [2]. Although nanoparticles can be synthesized by an array of conventional methods, green route of synthesis is competent over physical and chemical methods [3]. In the present work nickel nanoparticles was synthesized using clove and extracts. The absorption maxima nickel is at 680nm. The morphology of the particles was confirmed by transmission microscopy (TEM) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). TEM results suggest the size of the particle is in the range of 50 - 200nm. SEM images show the particles are spherical and granular nature. The synthesized nanoparticles s how fairly good anti microbial activity.
