Description
Summary:The interest in the green synthesis of nanoparticles has significantly increased in the last decade as an alternative approach to chemical nanoparticle synthesis. Green synthesis is a technique that produces highly valuable matter by minimizing hazardous chemicals and using environmentally friendly, low-cost, and energy-saving materials, such as plant-based, industrial wastes, and recycled substances. This study aimed to control and understand the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 NPs) using Prunus serrulata leaf extract as both reducing and capping agents. The mixing ratio between the Fe +3 solution and Prunus serrulata leaf extract, the concentration of Fe +3 solution, pH, and the temperature of the reaction were all varied to monitor particle size and morphology. The synthesized Fe 3 O 4 NPs were characterized by several instrumental analyses including Fourier transform infrared attached with attenuated total reflectance (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Optimum conditions for the synthesized Fe 3 O 4 NPs were determined as 3:1 (Fe +3 solution: Prunus serrulata leaf extract) mixing ratio, 10 mM Fe +3 precursor, pH 6, and 25 °C reaction temperature. Therefore, the synthesized Fe 3 O 4 NPs under optimum conditions were spherical with an average particle size of ~40 nm.
