This study presents a low-cost and environmentally friendly method for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Forsythia suspensa leaf extract as a reducing agent.The optimal green synthesis process was determined through single-factor and orthogonal experiments;The structural characterization of AgNPs was conducted using UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction;The catalytic degradation activity of AgNPs on organic pollutants such as p-nitrophenol (4-NP), methyl orange, methylene blue, and rhodamine B was evaluated;The antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E.coli) was preliminarily assessed;The antioxidant activity was evaluated by determining the DPPH radical scavenging ability, with vitamin C used as a positive control.The results showed that the optimal conditions for green synthesis were 40% ethanol concentration, 70 minutes reaction time, and 4 mL of Forsythia suspensa leaf extract. Under these conditions, the synthesized AgNPs had particle sizes mainly ranging from 40 to 70 nm with good crystallinity.The degradation rates of 4-NP, methylene blue, methyl orange, and rhodamine B by AgNPs were 91.08%, 90.03%, 94.64%, and 93.00%, respectively.The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of AgNPs against E.coli were determined to be 0.140 6 mg/mL and 0.281 3 mg/mL, respectively;The DPPH radical scavenging rate was 93.5% at an AgNP concentration of 0.55 mg/mL.In summary, AgNPs synthesized using Forsythia suspensa leaf extract demonstrated high catalytic degradation, antibacterial, and antioxidant activities, suggesting their potential applications in wastewater treatment, medical bioactive materials, and other fields.
