Abstract
Over the past few decades, nanotechnology has become a prominent field
of study in modern material science. Green synthesized
nanoparticles have garnered wide interest due to its inherent features like
rapidity, eco-friendly and cost effectiveness. The aim of the study indicates
the synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles utilizing nickel chloride
hexahydrate (NiCl2 .6H2O) as a precursor and Tadehagi
triquetrum (TT) leaf extract as a reducing agent and its anti-bacterial
activity. The biosynthesized nickel oxide nanoparticles from Tadehagi
triquetrum leaf extract were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier
Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis,
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX).
The UV -Visible spectroscopy of nickel oxide nanoparticles showed absorbance at
290 nm. FTIR spectroscopy was used to analyze the specific functional groups
responsible for reduction, stabilization and capping agents present in the
sample. The XRD results show that the nickel oxide nanoparticle is in amorphous
state. The SEM analysis is to characterize the morphology of the nickel oxide
nanoparticles. The nickel oxide nanoparticles showed effective antibacterial
activity against Staphylococcus aureus, and E. coli. Thus, this
study proves that nickel oxide nanoparticles would contain natural
anti-bacterial agents through green synthesis.
