Green Synthesis of Magnetite Nanoparticles using MyrtuscommunisL. Grown in Egypt

Abstract

Here in, we report, a simple, rapid, and eco-friendly green method was introduced to synthesize magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NPs) successfully. On treatment of aqueous solutions of ferrous and ferric salts in alkaline medium including MyrtuscommunisL. (MCL) leaf extract with large surface areas ranging from 127 to 318 m2g−1, the rapid formation of stable magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NPs) is observed to occur. MyrtuscommunisL. Leaves (MCL) extract was used as a reducing and stabilizing agent. It was found that the presence of various biomolecules such as flavonoids and terpenoids of the aqueous leaf extract plays a major role for the formation of Fe3O4-NPs through infrared spectra analysis. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Energy dispersed spectroscopy (EDS) analysis revealed the purity of synthesized Fe3O4-NPs with crystalline cubic structure phase. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) results illustrated that the size and diameter was in the range from 10 - 12 nm which agrees with calculated Scherrer equation with average diameter of around 9 nm. Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) analysis indicated that the samples exhibit super paramagnetic with magnetization value was in the range from 58-72emu/g.
