Synthesis of silver nanoparticles, as potential mercury metal detection, using Lamtoro Pods extracts has been successfully carried out by the green reduction method. The peak spectrum of plasmon resonance (SPR) at 415 nm confirmed the formation of silver nanoparticles. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) test obtained a characteristic functional group vibration spectrum in Lamtoro Pods. A shift of wavenumber was distinguished by comparing the FTIR spectrum between Lamtoro pods extract and silver nanoparticles. This indicated the involvement of phenol and flavonoid compounds found in the Lamtoro act as a reducing agent of Ag+ to Ag0 (silver nanoparticles). The X-ray diffractometer (XRD) pattern showed that the material synthesized as silver nanoparticles. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterization showed that the nanoparticles have an average size 15.70 nm. The color intensity of silver nanoparticles decreased to be colorless after being contacted with mercury ion, indicating its potential for mercury metal ions detection. © 2021, Novel Carbon Resource Sciences.
