In this present work, MgO nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by using Tribulus Terrestris leaf extract and were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Dispersity and surface morphology were analyzed by dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Crystal nature and purity of the MgO nanoparticles were analyzed using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). FTIR analysis showed functional groups present in the phytochemicals of Tribulus Terrestris plant extract responsible for reduction and stabilization of MgO nanoparticles. The sonocatalytic efficiency of MgO nanoparticles was examined by degrading Alizarin Red S (ARS) under ultrasonic sound irradiation. Green synthesized MgO nanoparticles effectively degraded the dye nearly 95% within 5 hrs. of exposer time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
