We employed a unique concentration mixture of 0.015 mg/mL leaf extract and 2.0 mM silver nitrate to achieve optimal results under atmospheric conditions. Comprehensive characterization was conducted through X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy. Remarkably, these Lawsonia inermis-synthesized AgNPs (LI-AgNPs) demonstrated superior catalytic degradation of organic pollutants, such as 4-nitrophenol, methylene blue, eosin yellow, and methyl orange. Among them, 4-nitrophenol was reduced most efficiently, following pseudo-first order kinetics. The LI-AgNPs exhibited unprecedented catalytic potential, evidenced by a sharp decline in methyl orange absorption and the emergence of a new hydrazine compound signal at 280 nm. With a catalytic loading as low as 0.2 mg/mL, we achieved an astounding 82.5% dye removal. This innovative approach advances the field of environmental remediation</p> </p></abstract><publication_date><month>02</month><day>25</day><year>2024</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>1</first_page><last_page>9</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">gnest_05463</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.005463</doi><timestamp>1716074131</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/gnest_05463</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
