ABSTRACT

Objective: The green synthesis method for nanoparticles is getting more attention globally, due to its lesser cost, non-hazardous, and eco-friendly nature. The novelty of the present work is to investigate the anti-bacterial and degradation activity of the green synthesized Iron Oxide NPs. Methods: In this study, the Iron Oxide NPs were synthesized through a green synthesis route from leaves of Ficus Palmata. UV-Vis confirmed Iron Oxide NP's peaks between (230-290 nm), while Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy analysis showed that several groups were involved in reduction and stabilization. Results: Results indicated that the highest photo thermal activity was shown in light and it was almost 4 folds greater than the control. Similarly, Iron Oxide NPs showed excellent antimicrobial potential against bacterial species "Salmonella typhi" "Xanthomonas Oryzae" and "Lactobacillus" at low concentrations (150 µg/mL). Hemolytic assay results showed that the toxicity was lesser than 5% at both dark and light conditions. Moreover, we also evaluated the photo-catalytic potential of Iron Oxide NPs against methylene orange. Results indicated that almost complete degradation was noted after 90 min in the presence of continuous light. All tests were performed in triplicates. All the data was subjected to P-test (P < 0.5) using Excel and graph pad (V.5.0). Conclusion: Iron Oxide NPs holds a promising future and could be used in treating diseases, and microbial pathogenesis and also could be used as a vector in drug delivery. Moreover, they can also eradicate persistent dyes and could be used as an alternative to remediate pollutants from the environment.

ABSTRACT

All-inorganic perovskites have attracted increasing worldwide interest due to its significantly improved stability in atmospheric environment compared to organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites, which renders it infinitely applicable in many fields such as electronics, optoelectronics, and energy storage. However, all-inorganic perovskites have to confront the challenges from fabrication before their wide utilization in the aforementioned applications. Liquid-phase synthesis holds the advantage of mass production and easy modulation of composition but with the deficiencies of relatively low crystallinity and disordered products. Interestingly, gas-phase growth has complementary characteristics compared to the liquid-phase method. In this work, it is proposed that a novel temperature difference triggers growth strategy to integrate the merits of the liquid- and gas-phase methods, and the feasibility of this strategy via a simple lab-use hot plate is demonstrated. High quality all-inorganic perovskites, cesium lead halide (CsPbX3 ) nanowire arrays, can be epitaxially grown as in a gas-phase method, but at the same time, the composition of products can be easily modulated by predesigning the recipe of precursors as in the liquid-phase method on a large scale. Notably, the as-fabricated CsPbX3 perovskite nanowire arrays demonstrate excellent stability and good optoelectronic properties in air. It is believed that this novel strategy can strikingly prompt the development of perovskites fabrication and applications in future.
