Abstract : Metallic nanoparticles lies in the segment of nanotechnology, compete with the manipulating matter on the scale of one billionth of a meter. Microwave-assisted green synthesis have a great benefit in rapid synthesis and homogenous heating and emerged as eco-friendly, ecomonical and environmental safer alternative relying on intrinsic reducing and stabilizing agents such as plant phytochemicals, bacterial metabolites, proteins, and polysaccharides, but conventional synthesis approach often involve harmful-toxic reagents, harsh solvents, and high energy intake, limiting sustainability and scalability. This method not only combines with green chemistry principles but also synthesized cost-effective and environment-friendly nanomaterials which have many applications in medicine, catalysis, and environmental remediation. In this paper we were discuss about the formation of the silver nanostructures with the average size of 40nm, with the help of Microwave-assisted incorporated with the green synthesis using Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) stem’s extract (ark), rich in phytochemicals like alkaloids, flavonoids, proteins, tannins, and phenolic compounds. T. cordifolia stems extract works as both reducing, capping and stabilizing agents, converting Ag⁺ ions into stable nanoparticles. Microwave parameters used for this synthesis are 900 Watts power, 120 sec. time and 230°C temperature. Synthesis of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by colour changes from yellowish green to brown colour and characteristic SPR (Surface Plasmon Resonance) peak at 420 nm in the UV–Vis spectrum. SEM and EDS analysis analyse respectively size and purity of the synthesized nanoparticles was concluded.
