Description
Summary:The green method of manufacturing iron oxide nanoparticles is particularly promising, owing to its low cost, lack of toxicity, and environmental friendliness. The manufacture of iron oxide nanoparticles from an aqueous solution of ferric nitrate utilizing black tea extract as a reducing agent is discussed in this research. UV-visible spectrophotometer and X-ray diffraction techniques were used to validate the production of nanoparticles. The breakdown of Methylene blue dye under sun irradiation was used to investigate the photocatalytic behavior of iron oxide particles.
