| Abstract Scope |
This study explores the use of phytochemicals like carbohydrates, lipids, flavonoids, terpenoids, polyphenols, and alkaloids as eco-friendly agents for green-synthesizing metal oxide nanoparticles. Specifically, silver oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via bio-reduction of silver nitrate using Psidium guajava L. extract. Comprehensive characterization involving FTIR, DLS, XRD, SEM, EDX, and TEM techniques confirmed the successful synthesis. FTIR indicated the presence of silver metal and protein-linked functional groups in the plant extract, acting as stabilizing agents for the nanoparticles. Dynamic light scattering revealed nano-sized silver oxide particles (56.75 nm), while XRD affirmed their crystalline nature. SEM and TEM techniques supported the formation of spherical iron oxide nanoparticles. These findings highlight the potential of these nanoparticles, synthesized through environmentally friendly methods, for addressing cholera treatment challenges. |
