Abstract

Sago (metroxylon sagu) is a polysaccharide bio resource, which is biodegradable and low in toxicity that can be found in large scale in Mukah, Sarawak.Â A simple green method of synthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has been developed using sago dissolved in water as the reducing agent. The mixture of dissolved sago and silver nitrate (AgNO₃) were autoclaved at 121 Â°C for 20 minutes. The size, morphology and structures of the AgNPs formed in the sago solution were investigated through UV-Vis spectrophotemeter, XRD and FESEM analysis. The synthesized AgNPs were spherical in shape and well distributed with average particle sizes of 19.3 Â± 2.7 nm.

ABSTRAK: Sago (Pokok Rumbia) adalah sumber bio polisakarida yang bioterurai dan rendah ketoksikan yang boleh didapati dalam skala yang besar di Mukah, Sarawak. Satu kaedah hijau yang mudah untuk mensintesis nanopartikel perak telah dihasilkan dengan menggunakan sagu yang larut dalam air sebagai ejen penurunan. Campuran sagu yang dilarutkan dan perak nitrat (AgNO₃) telah autoklaf pada suhu 121Â°C selama 20 minit. Saiz, morfologi dan struktur nanopartikel perak yang terhasil di dalam larutan sago telah disiasat melalui analisis spektrofotometer UV-Vis, XRD dan FESEM. Nanopartikel perak yang dihasilkan adalah berbentuk bulat dengan purata saiz partikel 19.3 Â± 2.7 nm.
