Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using tea leaf extract and evaluation of their stability and antibacterial activity

- A simple and green way was developed to synthesize AgNPs using tea extract.
- The synthesized AgNPs was characterized by TEM, XRD, FT-IR, and ICP-MS.
- Ag+ release from the synthesized AgNPs was lower indicating the high stability.
- The synthesized AgNPs showed slight antibacterial activity against E. coli.
