Effect Of Microwave In The Green Synthesis Of Colloidal Bismuth Nanoparticles

Abstract

In this study, bismuth nanoparticles were synthesized and prepared using citrus aurantifolia green synthesis method. The effect of microwave heating was examined. Citrus aurantifolia was used to reduce metal ions and nanoparticle formation due to the presence of various biomolecules needed. microwave was chosen because it can accelerate and form more stable nanoparticles. Bismuth nanoparticles were successfully synthesized with UV-Vis wavelength at 276 nm and nanoparticle average size is 4.66 nm. This result also shows a better TEM result image when with microwave because there is no impurity from bioreductor.
