“…Other plant extracts were used to manufacture NiO nanoparticles. These include Ananas comosus leaf extract to develop NiO nanopowder to degrade polyethylene films [41], Calendula officinalis to develop NiO nanoparticles as chemotherapeutic supplement/drug to treat esophageal carcinoma [42], or Nigella sativa extract, which was used to develop NiO electrocatalytic nanoparticles active in the degradation of 4-nitrophenol [43].…”

Green manufacturing of catalysts enables sustainable advanced oxidation processes and water treatment processes for removing trace contaminants such as pesticides. An environmentally friendly biosynthesis process produced high-surface-area CuO and NiO nanocatalysts using phytochemicals in the Capparis decidua leaf extract, which served as a reductant and influenced catalyst shape. Capparis decidua is a bushy shrub, widely distributed in dry and arid regions of Africa, Pakistan, India, Egypt, Jordan, Sudan, Saudi Arabia. The synthesized CuO and NiO nanoparticles were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy (UV-vis), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermo-gravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA). The produced nanoparticles were spherical and flower-like in shape and have a characteristic face-centered cubic structure of CuO and NiO. Biosynthesized catalysts were photoactive and degraded recalcitrant pesticide Lambda-cyhalothrin (L-CHT). Photocatalytic degradation of L-CHT was affected by the initial L-CHT concentration, solution pH levels between 5 and 9, and photocatalyst concentration. The L-CHT removal percentage attained by CuO photocatalyst (~99%) was higher than for NiO photocatalyst (~89%). The degradation of L-CHT follows a pseudo-first-order kinetic model, and the apparent rate constant (kapp) decreased from 0.033 min−1 for CuO to 0.0084 min−1 for NiO photocatalyst. The novel flower-shaped nanoparticles demonstrated high stability in water and recyclability for removing L-CHT pesticide contamination in water.

“…Ns-NiONPs were synthesized and developed as a stabilizing agent. The total reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol corresponding to the catalytic activity of NiONPs occurred at pH7, pH9, and pH11 in 60 min, 10 min, and 45 min, respectively and the catalytic activity was best observed at pH 9 showing better electrocatalytic activity (Boudiaf et al, 2021).…”

“…This biogenic green synthesis of nanoparticles is more economical and environmentally friendly. Examples are the production of Fe-NPs from green tea and black tea leaves (Mareedu et al 2021), ZnO-NPs from Nilgiriantusciliantus leaves (Resmi et al 2021), and nickel oxide-NPs from fennel (Nigella sativa) seeds (Boudiaf et al 2021). These green synthesized nanoparticles are successfully used as an antimicrobial agent, alternative energy source, and catalyst in human health-related issues (El Ramady et al 2021).…”
