Green synthesis of selenium nanoparticle using Capparis decidua fruit extract and its characterization using Transmission Electron Microscopy And UV-Visible spectroscopy

Capparis decidua is used in the traditional system of medicine used due to its medicinal properties. Selenium nanoparticle was synthesized in a simple and rapid way by green synthesis method. Selenium nanoparticle was synthesized using aqueous extract of Capparis decidua fruit. The aim of this present study is to synthesize and to analyse the characterization of selenium nanoparticle synthesized using Capparis decidua. Characterization of selenium nanoparticle was done using ultra-visible spectroscopy and Transmission electron microscope [TEM]. Initially, the wavelength obtained for synthesized selenium nanoparticles ranged from 300nm to 600nm. Then TEM was carried out to find the size and shape of the nanoparticle. The selenium nanoparticle was spherical in shape with size of 320nm. The present study concluded that the selenium nanoparticle prepared using Capparis decidua was ecofriendly and may serve and benefit the society because of its rich medicinal property with less side effects if further research is carried out.
