Biogenic synthesis of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles using plantain peel extract

A facile green synthesis of spherical Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles and their effect on degradation of methylene blue in aqueous solution

“…89 λ/β cosθ where D is the average particle size, λ is the wave length of the Cu-Kα irradiation, β is the full width at half maximum intensity of the diffraction peak and θ is the diffraction angle for the respective peaks of the RG-FeMNPs which was around ~36 nm were good in agreement with TEM results. nanoparticles [19] that were confirmed by the FESEM analysis. Moreover, TEM analysis was used to visualize the size and shape of RG-FeMNPs formed and the images show that they are relatively uniform in diameter and spherical in shape ( Fig.…”

“…Furthermore, the green synthesis has been coming up with as a cost effective and environmentally friendly and alternative to chemical and physical methods. The previous reports suggest that some of the reports are in availability on green synthesis of iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles [17][18][19][20][21].…”

Plant-Mediated Green Synthesis of Iron Nanoparticles

“…Venkateswarlu et al [27] used plantain peel extract as a low-cost bioreducing agent for synthesizing magnetite nanoparticles. Iron salt solution was hydrolyzed, resulting in the formation of ferric hydroxide, which was subsequently reduced by various biomolecules to form Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles.…”

Green Synthesis of Magnetite (Fe3O4) Nanoparticles Using Seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezii) Extract

“…There are a couple of successful studies in synthesizing Fe 3 O 4 -NPs by using plant extract. For instance, fruit extract of Artemisia annua [19], leaf extract of Perilla frutescens [20], Tridax procumbens [21] and caricaya papaya [22], peel extract of plantain [23], and also seed extract of grape proanthocyanidin [24]. However, there are only finite studies on the synthesis of Fe 3 O 4 -NPs from marine plants.…”
