Green Synthesis and Characterization of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles using Artocarpus Heterophyllus Leaves Extract

In the present study, an ecofreindly benign way of synthesis of Iron-Oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles (IONPs) using Artocarpus Heterophyllus (Jack Fruit Leaves) as stabilizing agent. The nanoparticles formation was observed by color change from orangish-brown solution to black precipitate. The phase purity of IONPs was observed by using powder-XRD technique, the formation of nanoparticles was further confirmed from UV spectroscopic technique and the absorption peak is observed at 411nm. The presence of organic and inorganic compounds in synthesized nanoparticles was identified using FTIR analysis. The average size of the synthesized nanoparticles was estimated using XRD patterns and SEM analysis.
