In the present work, we describe the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using seed aqueous extract of Olea europaea (Oe) and its antibacterial activity. UV–visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray energy dispersive spectrophotometer (EDAX) were performed to ascertain the formation of Ag-NPs. It was observed that the growths of Ag-NPs are stopped within 35 min of reaction time. The synthesized Ag-NPs were characterized by a peak at 449 nm in the UV–visible spectrum. XRD confirmed the crystalline nature of the nanoparticles of 34 nm size. The XRD peaks at 38°, 44°, 64° and 77° can be indexed to the (1 1 1), (2 0 0), (2 2 0) and (3 1 1) Bragg’s reflections of cubic structure of metallic silver, respectively. The results confirmed that the (Oe) is a very good eco friendly and nontoxic source for the synthesis of Ag-NPs as compared to the conventional chemical/physical methods.}, number={6}, journal={International Journal of Nano Dimension (Int.
