Green Synthesis of Iron Oxide nanoparticles using Neem leaf (Azadirachta indica) extract & its Characterisation via UV-Vis Spectroscopy

Abstract

Chhavi Grover

Nanotechnology has come into limelight few years back and is following the same trend by the virtue of its opportune and multifarious diligence that it shows in the field of Biomedical (Biomarker Mapping, Targeted Therapy, Detection and Diagnosis etc.) etc. Azadirachta indica aka Neem Plant is highly rich in antioxidant and phytochemical properties which ultimately fabricate it to be a good way for synthesising remarkably stable Iron Oxide nanoparticles (Fe3 O4 -NP’s). This review approaches to the procedure and characterisation via UV-Vis Spectrometer of Fe3 O4 -NP’s. The nanoparticles were chosen for research because of its more antimicrobial and antioxidant properties comparatively to the normal plant extract. At last the comparison can be made on the basis of the results which come after the synthesis using UV-Vis Spectroscopy.
