Abstract

Here in, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is synthesized using orange (Citrus sinensis) peel as reducing agent and applied in the detection of lead (II) ions in water. A simple technique was used in the synthesis of the said nanoparticles Different analytical techniques such as; UV-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the as-synthesized AgNPs. FTIR results revealed the fingerprint of the active antioxidants involved in the reduction of silver nitrate to AgNPs. The XRD results shows that silver nanoparticles possess crystalline face centered cubic (FCC) lattice structures. Variable experimental parameters such as; silver ion concentration, pH, incubation time, plant extract volume, and temperature were investigated. The results shows that 1:8 ratio of plant extract volume to silver salt precursor the nanoparticles have yellowish brown and golden brown colors and a surface plasmon peak around 420 nm, SEM images displayed an array of polydispersed spherical AgNPs having an average size of 55 nm. The XRD pattern revealed peaks that are similar to that of silver while FTIR results revealed the functional groups associated with reducing silver ions and stabilizing silver nanoparticles. Colorimetric studies showed that the AgNPs lose their characteristic color when they interact with lead ions, and with the color gone, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption peak also disappears. A high selectivity and sensitivity were recorded towards Pb (II) ions.
