A facile green synthesis of spherical Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles and their effect on degradation of methylene blue in aqueous solution

We have been developed a facile and cost effective green synthesis of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4 MNPs) by using Ridge gourd peels (RG) extract as reducing and capping agent. The synthesized RG-FeMNPs are characterized by various physiochemical methods such as powder XRD, FT-IR, Raman, BET, FESEM, VSM and TEM methods. The results clearly demonstrated that the synthesized iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles are spherical in shape with...
