摘 要：Silver nanoparticles（AgNPs） were synthesised using equimolar concentrations of reducing agent vitamin C and AgCl precursor by simple precipitation method. The synthesised AgNPs were characterised by X-ray diffraction（XRD）, UV-Visible, photoluminescence and field emission scanning electron microscopy（FESEM）analysis. The formation of AgNPs was confirmed by the typical surface plasmon resonance band at 426 nm.The presence of elemental silver and pure crystalline face centre cubic（fcc） structure was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray analysis and XRD analysis, respectively. The FESEM images showed the formation of spherical AgNPs for lower concentrations（0.1 and 0.3 mol/L） while spike and flower shaped particles were formed for higher concentration. Photoluminescence characteristic band was observed with no shift at 390 nm indicating the stable nature of AgNPs. The antibacterial property of the AgNPs was tested against gram negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa by using Cissus quadrangular as a control and the result showed that vitamin C reduced AgNPs have good antibacterial activity.
