Plant-based synthesis of lead oxide nanoparticles using Trigonella feonumgraecum extract and assessment of their cytotoxicity and photocatalytic activity

This study implicates the synthesis of lead oxide nanoparticles (PbO-NPs) in a green manner by using the extracts of Trigonella feonumgraecum for stabilizing and capaging purposes. The techniques of UV-Vis, FTIR, TGA-DTA, FESEM, EDX, and XRD were considered to evaluate the synthesized nanoparticles....

Description
Summary:This study implicates the synthesis of lead oxide nanoparticles (PbO-NPs) in a green manner by using the extracts of Trigonella feonumgraecum for stabilizing and capaging purposes. The techniques of UV-Vis, FTIR, TGA-DTA, FESEM, EDX, and XRD were considered to evaluate the synthesized nanoparticles. The assay of PbO-NPs optical features was provided by the results of UV-Vis spectrophotometry, while the XRD patterns approved their tetragonal and orthorhombic crystallized structures. The cubic form of our product along with a size of around 30 nm was exhibited by the FESEM images. We also examined the cytotoxicity of PbO-NPs on the Huh-7 cell line by the means of MTT assay, as well as their photocatalytic functionality in regards to the elimination of methylene blue (MB) dye under UVA light radiation, which resulted in about 90% of degradation after180 min. Graphical abstract Trigonella feonumgraecum seeds extract is used as a stabilizer and reducing agent for synthesizing PbO-NPs. The PbO-NPs were characterized via different analyses. Afterward, their photocatalytic activity and cytotoxicity effects were investigated. In this work, Trigonella feonumgraecum seeds extract was used as a stabilizer and reducing agent for the synthesis of PbO-NPs, for the first time. The achieved PbO-NPs were characterized via different analyses such as UV-Vis/Band gap. Afterward, we inquired their photocatalytic effect for the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions and also explored their anticancer properties on Huh-7 cell lines by MTT method.
