Abstract
In this research, CNDs were prepared by a green and cost effective method using Cinnamomum Tamala (bay leaf) as carbon sources. TEM, UV, FTIR, ZETA Potential, PL and Fluorescence methods were used to characterize the produced CNDs and the average particle size is 3.42nm. This research was conducted on the development of fluorescent sensors for various metal ions, including Fe3+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Cr3+, Mg2+, Na+ 1 and Cd2+. The CNDs demonstrated selective sensing of biologically important Fe+ 3 and Cu+ 2 metal ions. The CNDs antioxidant assay was tasked with DPPH• radical scavenging properties. CNDs made from Cinnamomum Tamala had the highest DPPH free radical scavenging activity at 100mg/L (42.06%) with the IC50 of 130.68mg/L. The outcome implies that Indian spices are among the best materials for optical metal ion detection and sensing, and they also have therapeutic benefits.
