Abstract
Synthesis of nanoparticles using plant extracts is easy to do. Gold nanoparticles are synthesized using Brucea javanica fruit peel extract. each young fruit peel (Au-1) and young fruit peel (Au-2) were weighed 1 gram and extracted using 100 mL of DM aquarium solvent for 20 minutes at 60oC. synthesis of gold nanoparticles using the precursor HAuCl4 0.01 M. synthesis was carried out with a ratio of 4 (extract) : 1 (HAuCl4 0.01 M). Analysis using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer produced a wavelength of Au-1 at 553 nm and Au-2 at 564 nm. TEM analysis provides information that the gold nanoparticles produced are speric and nano in size. This is supported by the distribution of particles using PSA that gold particles are nano-sized through this synthesis with an even distribution.
