A comprehensive study on antibacterial antioxidant and photocatalytic activity of achyranthes aspera mediated biosynthesized Fe2O3 nanoparticles

Abstract

During the last few decades the field of nanotechnology has witnessed tremendous amounts of research on inorganic metal oxide nanoparticles. The magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have attracted lots of attention due to its unique properties and very wide field of applications. In this regard, present investigation represents a non toxic eco-friendly low cost method for the fabrication of iron oxide nanoparticles. The structural and morphological analyses of fabricated nanoparticles were performed by using some standard analytical procedures like X-Ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscope, UV visible spectroscopy and IR spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the fabricated nanoparticles are crystalline in nature and have 20 nm average particle sizes. The Proposed manuscript highlights the antibacterial antioxidant and photocatalytic activity of the fabricated nanoparticles. The fabricated nanoparticles show significant antibacterial, antioxidant and photocatalytic activity.
