Biosynthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles using leaf extract of Ruellia tuberosa: Antimicrobial properties and their applications in photocatalytic degradation

Publication date: Available online 28 December 2018Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: BiologyAuthor(s): Seerangaraj Vasantharaj, Selvam Sathiyavimal, Palanisamy Senthilkumar, Felix LewisOscar, Arivalagan PugazhendhiAbstractGreen synthesis of nanoparticles is one of the promising, ecofriendly and safer methods. Utilizing plant sources as reducing agents will replace the use of toxic chemicals for nanoparticle synthesis. In the present study FeONPs were synthesized using Ruellia tuberosa (RT) leaf aqueous extract, further characterization of FeONPs was performed using UV–vis spectroscopy analysis showing visible peak at 405 nm. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) proved the presence of Fe metallic ions. The structural characteristic using Field emission ...
