Silver nanoparticles were prepared in situ using sunlight and cationic surfactants. Silver nano-particles were confirmed using UV-vis spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and FTIR. Increasing the hydrophobic chain length of surfactants increase the amount of silver nano-particles formed in addition to increasing their stability. The results showed formed, uniform, well arranged hexagonal and spherical shapes. The prepared silver nanoparticles exhibit enhanced biological activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB).
