Synthesis and Characterization of Mgo Nanoparticles by Neem Leaves through Green Method

Abstract

Metal oxide nanoparticles can be used in electronics, catalysis, ceramics, petrochemical products, coatings and many other fields such as sound-proof, light-weight, heat-insulating and refractory fibre board and metallic ceramics. Synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles can be done through three methods like physical, chemical, and green methods. Present work focus on synthesis of MgO nanoparticles by Neem leaves through Green method. This method is non-toxic and eco-friendly. In this work, the precursor materials was Mg(NO3)2 and fresh Neem leaves extract. The Neem leaves extract acting as a reducing agent in the reaction. The particles thereby obtained were characterized by different analytical techniques. X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) for to calculate the average crystalline size, Particle Size Analyser for average particle size, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) for morphological studies, UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis)for to analyse the absorption patterns, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is used for analysing the functional groups which is involved in the reaction.
