Abstract

Nanotechnology's game-changing applications have boosted the importance of synthesizing nanomaterials with carefully controlled dimensions. Biosynthesis of nanomaterials is a developing field that seeks to synthesize various nanoparticles.  Leaf extract from Azadirachta indica will be used to bio-generate silver nanoparticles on mesoporous silica spheres for this study. The leaf extract will be processed using ethanol. A modified version of Stober's method will be used to synthesize mesoporous silica balls. Spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and other cutting-edge tools will be employed to characterize the produced silica-supported silver nanoparticles. The disc diffusion method or the Agar well diffusion method will be used to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of the synthesized nanoparticles.
