Nanometallic materials are metals and alloys that form nanocrystalline particles with a
particle size ranging from approximately 5 to 100 nm. Nano-scale metals synthesized by chemical methods
can lead to undesirable consequences such as environmental pollution, high energy consumption, and
potential health issues. Green synthesis, a novel approach to the preparation of nanoparticles from
biological sources, is more advantageous than traditional chemical synthesis routes due to its low cost and
greater safety for both the environment and human health. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are utilized in
various fields including industrial applications, biology and medicine. In this study, it was aimed to
synthesize AgNP with the help of microwave using green tea infusion and silver nitrate (AgNO3). For this
purpose, different concentrations of infusion obtained from green tea leaves (1%, 2% and 3%), different
concentrations of AgNO3 (1mM, 2mM and 3mM), different pH levels (pH 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0), different
powers (300, 450 and 600 Watts) and different durations (0-9 minutes) were optimized. The
characterization of the obtained AgNPs was determined by taking the spectrum (800-300 nm) using UVVis spectrophotometer. According to the findings; The optimum conditions were determined as 2% infusion
concentration, 3mM AgNO3, pH:9.0, power 450 Watt and duration 9 minutes. Determining the sizes of the
obtained AgNPs and investigating their biological activities could be considered as further studies.
