Influence of the metal concentration on the phytosynthesis of nanoparticles of Iron and Zinc
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 December 2019
Abstract
In this work, green nanotechnology has been applied by using phytochemical compounds as reducing agents from the plant extract of Hydrocotyle ranunuculoides through three modifications of the phytosynthesis method to prepare Fe and Zn nanoparticles, in three different concentration of the metallic solution. In the third modification a MgO support was included to avoid the Fe and Zn NP agglomeration. The nanoparticles size was 5±1 nm, and for the Fe NPs, it was determined with a cubic structure a Fe3O4 composition, and Zn nanoparticles were obtained with a hexagonal structure and Zn° composition. In the third method, MgO nanoparticle, the support appears as Mg0 nanoparticles surrounded by Fe0 and Zn0 nanoparticles. According to the three used methods pathways, the main influence is the modification in the method synthesis. Hybrid nanocomposites provide a means in preventing agglomeration of the NPs and hence avoid coalescence and loss of properties.
