In this research, a rapid, simple and green method was developed for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using aqueous extract of Prangos ferulaceae leaves. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) methods. The results of DLS, SEM, EDAX, XRD and UV-Vis techniques confirm the synthesis and formation of uniform and spherical shape of silver nanoparticles with average particles size around 10 nm. The aqueous extract of Prangos ferulaceae leaves was found to displays strong potential for the reduction of silver ions and producing of the silver nanoparticles via a very cost effective, clean, nontoxic, ecofriendly method which can be manufactured at a large scale.
