Abstract

In this data article, data obtained from an efficient, eco-friendly and low-cost method for the synthesis and recovery of Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using ethanolic extracts of Annona muricata fruits and leaves as reducing, stabilizing and capping agents has been reported. 99.7% pure silver nitrate was used as the inorganic ion source. The data was obtained using different spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The data is presented in form of images, Microsoft excel sheets, graphs,.raw files,.dpt files, PDF files, among others. Methods of analysis and interpretation of the data have also been presented. The data can be most useful to researchers, research students, industrialists and academicians to acquire knowledge on the green synthesis of AgNPs and related applications. The data is deposited in the Mendeley Data Repository as two independent datasets accessible at https://doi.org/10.17632/jkj2x782wh.1 Gavamukulya et al., 2019 and https://doi.org/10.17632/f4mb6b488n.1 Gavamukulya et al., 2019.
