Silver nitrate solution was reacted with Aloe vera gel extract under controlled pH (8-9) adjusted by dilute sodium hydroxide, followed by an incubation at 60⁰C for 6 hours. The synthesis process was monitored by observing color changes from colourless to yellow and then brown, indicating nanoparticles formation. UV Vis spectroscopy showed a characteristic Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) peak around 400- 500 nm, confirming the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The study demonstrates that Aloe vera gel extract effectively facilitates the eco-friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with reaction conditions such as pH and temperature playing a very important role in nanoparticle formation and stability. This green synthesis method offers a sustainable alternative to other chemical methods, with potential applications in medicine, catalysis and material scienceenTechnical Report
