Green synthesis of iron nanoparticles using plant extracts

Recently, nanoparticles have aroused great interest among researchers around the world due to their specific characteristics that allow them to be used in various fields with an emphasis on medicine and pharmacy where they act as catalysts or biosensors. Common methods of nanoparticle synthesis involve the use of long-term chemical and physical methods involving complicated processes, so the method of synthesis using green solvents and plant extracts appears to be more environmentally friendly and safer to use. For the synthesis of nanoparticles from different iron salts, plant extracts of five different plants prepared using GRAS (generally recognized as safe) solvents will be used to examine their effect on the possibility of nanoparticle synthesis. The prepared extracts were tested for antiradical activity (DPPH method) and total phenol content. The obtained nanoparticles were characterized by the application of appropriate techniques. According to the obtained results, the influence of different synthesis methods was shown, with emphasis on the influence of different solvents, plants, and compositions of extracts.
