Electrochemical Determination of Imidacloprid in Soil Sample Based on Photosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles from Hypnea musciformis

In this communication, we proposed an eco-friendly chemical route for photosynthesizing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using the extract of red alga Hypnea musciformis extract. The biosynthesized Ag NPs were characterize using SEM, UV-vis spectroscopy, XRD and FTIR. Further study showed the biosynthesized Ag NPs can be applied for electrode surface modification and used for electrocatalytic determination of imidacloprid in the soil sample.
