Abstract

High-purity metallic silver was employed in the electrochemical synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNP). The nanoparticles created were subjected to characterization through UV-Vis spectroscopy and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESSEM). The nanoparticles that were synthesized resulted in a unimodal distribution, featuring an average size below 100 nanometers. The silver nanoparticles that were prepared were employed for their antibacterial properties against microorganisms such as Bacillus sptillus, Pseudomonas pneumonia, and also exhibited antifungal activity against Alternaria alternata.
