Phytofabrication of Fe3O4 MNPs using Persea Americana kernel extract and their structural and optical characterization

The biological synthesis of nanoparticles using plant extracts plays an important role in the field of nanotechnology. In this study, iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NPs) were synthesized using a rapid, single step and completely green biosynthetic method by reduction of Ferric chloride hexa hydrate and Ferrous chloride tetra hydrate solution with Persea Americana kernel water extract containing flavonoids and phenolic compounds as a main factor which acts as reducing agent and efficient stabilizer. Synthesized NPs were further confirmed with different high-throughput characterization techniques such as UV–visible spectroscopy and FT-IR analysis. Additionally XRD, SEM and VSM demonstrate the generation of crystalline PA/Fe3O4 -NPs with a mean diameter of 20 nm.
