Abstract

Iron oxide nanoparticles, specifically magnetite (-NPs), have become widely used and a significant area of research due to their superparamagnetism and distinctive properties. As a result, scientists are diligently looking into new uses for these nanoparticles. The choice and use of synthesis techniques are important variables that can affect the size and characteristics of the nanoparticles (NPs). The use of toxic chemicals that are absorbed on the surface of the nanoparticles has been linked to a number of negative effects of chemical synthesis methods. The Green synthesis of nanoparticles has emerged as an eco-friendly method in response to environmental concerns, giving researchers the chance to worldwide investigate the potential of various herbs for nanoparticle synthesis. Green synthesis is considered as a novel, rapid, and eco-friendly method for obtaining metallic nanoparticles (NPs). In this study, magnetite nanoparticles (-NPs) were successfully synthesized using Calotropis gigantea (Akanda) leaf and latex extract. The NPs were identified and characterized by visual observation, Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), UV–vis spectrophotometry, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA). The UV–vis spectrum showed board absorption without having any strong absorption peak, which confirmed the formation of -NPs. FTIR analysis showed the characteristic peak at 602 and 438, typical for Fe–O bond. The VSM curve doesn’t show any hysteresis loop which confirms the superparamagnetic behavior of -NPs. The saturation magnetization is 60emu/gm for CG leaf -NPs and 53emu/gm for CG latex -NPs. TGA confirms the high temperature stability of -NPs and the weight loss in TGA curve is due to the decomposition of organic biomolecules acting as a capping agent on the surface of the -NPs. The DTA curve shows an endothermic peak for the evaporation and decomposition of water and capping agents. The exothermic peak in DTA curve is due to the high temperature phase transition of -NPs to FeO. The photcatalytic activity of -NPs for the reduction of methylene blue (MB) dye was demonstrated by using UV–vis spectroscopy. It is expected that the synthesized -NPs could be a promising material to treat industrial wastewater via a profitable, sustainable, and eco-friendly approach.
