Nickel-based oxide/hydroxide microparticles (NiO/Ni(OH)2 MPs) were synthesized via a green way utilizing Justicia adathoda L. leaf extract, serving as novel reducing and stabilizing agent. Plants phytochemicals such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and phenolics facilitated the eco-friendly formations of NiO/Ni(OH)2 MPs without toxic chemicals. Structure analysis through X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the crystalline structure, while FTIR confirmed the involvement of functional groups in reduction and stabilizations. Morphological characterization by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) revealed a granular dense structure microparticle of size about 1μm. Biological screening showed notable antibacterial and antifungal activities. NiO/Ni(OH)2 MPs show 60.24% inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus and 70.24% inhibition against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, while antifungal activity reached 95%.. Read More»
