The silver nanoparticles have great attention for researchers who wish to use them for development of new generation nano devices. In this present study silver nanoparticles were synthesized from aqueous silver nitrate (0.001mM) through a simple and ecofriendly route using leaf extract of Citrus reticulate as reducing agent and stabilizer. The aqueous silver ions when exposed to leaf extract were reduced and resulted in the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles ranges from 44.0 to 54.1 nm. The bio-reduced silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM), and Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy.
