Introduction
Silver nanoparticles(AgNPs)
They are ultrafine clusters of silver atoms,
ranging from 1 nm and 100 nm in size. Owing
to their unique physical, chemical and
biological properties AgNPs have been used
in many fields such as medicine, electronics
and material sciences. The distinctive
electrical and thermal properties AgNPs have
been exploited for developing nanoscale
DPPH(2, 2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl)
It is a dark-colored crystalline powder
composed of stablefree
radicalmolecules. It forms a violet
solution in methanol which has a
characteristic absorbance at 517 nm.
DPPH reacts with antioxidant
molecules and gets reduced to 2,2diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazine which is

Review of literature
Over the past few decades it has been observed that
nanoparticles of noble metals such as silver exhibit
significantly distinct physical, chemical and biological
properties from their bulk counterparts. Nano-size particles
of less than 100nm in diameter are currently attracting
increasing attention for the wide range of new applications
in various fields of industry. Such powders can exhibit
properties that differ substantially from those of bulk
materials, as a result of small particle dimension, high
