orientalis possesses antihepatotoxic, antioxidant, and cytotoxic activities and elicits antiinflammatory and antinoceptive properties. orientalis) belonging to the Platanaceae family is known as the tree of Hippocrates in Kashmir, India, and it is locally named as chinar or boonyi in India. Iron oxide nanoparticles show significant antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger and Mucor piriformis, employed as model fungi, but found to be more active toward M. Infrared spectroscopy results confirmed the stabilization of iron oxide nanoparticles by the phytochemicals present in the leaf extract. The spherical oxide particles have an average diameter of 38 nm as determined from transmission electron microscopy.
Nonetheless, X-ray diffraction pattern reveals the mixed phase nature of the ensuing iron oxide, i.e. The tailored iron oxide particles were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering technique.
The role of the leaf extract in the synthesis of iron oxide has been briefly demonstrated in this work. orientalis leaf extract serve a dual role as reducing and capping agent during the fabrication of iron oxide nanoparticles. In this report, aqueous phase green synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticle utilizing Platanus orientalis is elucidated for the first time.
