Abstract

The invention of the system which facilitates and assures the use of atmospheric-pressure plasma technology has been used in several fields, including medicine and nanotechnology. In our work, magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles (NPs) were created using a high voltage power supply of 21 ​kV at high-frequency equipment that produced a 6 ​kHz output. MgO NPs were successfully created at various times. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that MgO NPs have a polycrystalline and an average crystalline size of 9.365 and 14.253 ​nm in both preparation times (10 and 12 ​min). Additionally, field emission scanning electron (FE-SEM) images show the single nanoparticles appear flake-like, with a thickness of 10 ​nm at 500 ​nm magnification and a width of 20 ​nm. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) was employed to analyze the homogeneous, compact, and dense surface of the produced MgO NPs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis showed that the MgO nanoparticle's average diameter ranged from 6 to 18 ​nm. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was also used to uncover the degree of cooperation between the surfaces of MgO NPs, and the results showed a high extraordinary topographic contrast of the MgO NPs with a surface roughness of 2.170 ​nm.
