Abstract :
Silver Nanoparticles and Copper doped Silver Nanoparticles are synthesized by using aqueous plant extract of Ziziphus mauritiana by a simple and eco-friendly green route. In the present study, the determination of photocatalytic properties of the resultant un-doped and Cu-doped Silver Nanoparticles was carried out. The plant extract of Ziziphus mauritiana were taken as reducing agent as well as capping agent to synthesize un-doped and Cu-doped Silver Nanoparticles from AgNO₃, and  Cu (CH3,COO2) The synthesized un-doped and Cu-doped Silver Nanoparticles were characterized by different spectroscopic techniques like X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-VIS) under sunlight radiation, photo-catalytic disintegration potential of un-doped and Cu-doped Silver Nanoparticles were determined by the degradation of Rhodamine B.

Keywords : Silver Nanoparticles, Ziziphus mauritiana.
