“…In another report, Chlorophytum comosum aqueous leaf extract was utilized for the biosynthesis of iron nanoparticles with a size of 100 nm and tested against P. aeruginosa, E. faecalis, E. coli, and S. aureus. The prepared iron nanoparticles showed Methyl orange degradation (77% after 7 h) [323]. Jamzad, Mina, et al carried out an experiment to derive spherical and hexagonal iron oxide nanoparticles utilizing Laurus nobilis and tested them against E. coli (ZOI = No), L. monocytogenes (ZOI = 12 mm), S. aureus (ZOI = No), P. spinulosum (ZOI = 14 mm), and A. aspergillus (ZOI = 13 mm) [324].…”

Nanotechnology emerged as a scientific innovation in the 21st century. Metallic nanoparticles (metal or metal oxide nanoparticles) have attained remarkable popularity due to their interesting biological, physical, chemical, magnetic, and optical properties. Metal-based nanoparticles can be prepared by utilizing different biological, physical, and chemical methods. The biological method is preferred as it provides a green, simple, facile, ecofriendly, rapid, and cost-effective route for the green synthesis of nanoparticles. Plants have complex phytochemical constituents such as carbohydrates, amino acids, phenolics, flavonoids, terpenoids, and proteins, which can behave as reducing and stabilizing agents. However, the mechanism of green synthesis by using plants is still highly debatable. In this report, we summarized basic principles or mechanisms of green synthesis especially for metal or metal oxide (i.e., ZnO, Au, Ag, and TiO2, Fe, Fe2O3, Cu, CuO, Co) nanoparticles. Finally, we explored the medical applications of plant-based nanoparticles in terms of antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activity.

The biosynthesis of oxide semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) using materials found in nature opens a wide field of study focused on sustainability and environmental protection. Biosynthesized NPs have the capacity to eliminate organic dyes, which pollute water and cause severe damage to the environment. In the present work, the green synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs was carried out using Capsicum annuum var. Anaheim extract. The photocatalytic elimination of methylene blue (MB), methyl orange (MO), and Rhodamine B (RhB) in UV radiation was evaluated. The materials were characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) and SEM-coupled energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), attenuated total reflectance-infrared (ATR-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Photoluminescence (PL), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). The TEM analysis showed the NPs have an average size of 40 nm and quasi-spherical shape. ATR-IR showed the ZnO NPs contained functional groups from the extract. The analysis through XRD indicated that the NPs have a hexagonal zincite crystal structure with an average crystallite size of approximately 17 nm. The photoluminescence spectrum (PL) presented an emission band at 402 nm. From the UV-Vis spectra and TAUC model, the band-gap value was found to be 2.93 eV. Finally, the photocatalytic assessment proved the ZnO NPs achieved 100% elimination of MB at 60 min exposure, and 85 and 92% degradation of MO and RhB, respectively, at 180 min. This indicates that ZnO NPs, in addition to using a friendly method for their synthesis, manage to have excellent photocatalytic activity in the degradation of various organic pollutants.

“…The number of X-ray counts is shown on the vertical axis, while the energy is shown on the horizontal axis. Strong signals in the Iron region 7 Kev are revealed by EDS spectra, confirming the formation of nano iron in its elemental state [25]. Other than, these signals for C, O are observed which may originate from the biomolecules capped to the surface of the FeNPs, Mn, and Cl due to plant constituents and precursor salt respectively.…”

In the field of nanotechnology, developing an environmentally friendly method for the synthesis of iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) an important aspect. The use of secondary metabolites from plant leaf extract has recently emerged as a novel technology for the synthesis of various nanoparticles, according to recent studies. The leaf extract of Azadirachta indica was used to synthesize iron nanoparticles in this research. The effects of reactant concentrations, reaction temperature and pH of the solution on the synthesis process of iron nanoparticles were studied. The formation of iron nanoparticles in dispersion was monitored using a UV-Visible Spectrophotometer that analyzed absorbance spectra. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) characterized the morphology of iron nanoparticles and results reveal the particles are spherical in shape with an average size of 48 nm. The following are the ideal conditions for synthesis: leaf extract 15%, [FeCl 3 ] = 1.0 mM, pH 6.0 and temperature 60◦C. The plant biomolecules induce the reduction of Fe 3+ ions to FeNPs and act as a capping and stabilizing agent, which is confirmed by the FTIR technique. Therefore, they have good stability for various applications.
