ABSTRACT
Due to their special qualities, nanoparticles are quite interesting. Various techniques have been developed
for their synthesis, which frequently calls for high pressure, temperature, and solvents. Therefore, green
synthesis may be the ideal choice as an affordable and environmentally responsible method for creating
nanoparticles. A common strategy in material synthesis for environmental friendliness is the green
production of nanoparticles employing various plant components and their extracts. Numerous metal
nanoparticles with putative bioactivities have been produced using plant extracts. This study describes the
synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using a combined extract of Onion and Garlic peel, as well as
an evaluation of their cytotoxicity activities. AgNPs morphology and crystalline phase were characterized
using UV spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Scanning electron
transfer microscopy analysis. The generated AgNPs were almost quasi-spherical in shape, well distributed
and scattered in nature, and had an average size diameter of 10.5 nm, according to characterisation study.
The AgNPs displayed unique cytotoxic properties. The outcomes demonstrated the potential of combined
extract of Onion and Garlic peel extract as a biomaterial for the synthesis of AgNPs.
