Biosynthesis of hematite phase α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles using an aqueous extract of Rosmarinus officinalis leaves

Biosynthesized hematite phase α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) have been successfully demonstrated via an entirely green process mediated aqueous extract of Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaves acting as both stabilizing and capping agents. The synthesis was free of solvents and surfactants to adhere to green chemistry principles and the impartation of environmental benignity. To achieve the goal of this study, the main physical properties of the...
