Green Synthesis of Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles

Abstract:

Nephelium lappaceum L. peels was effectively used for the synthesis of magnesium oxide nanoparticles as a natural ligation agent. The XRD and SEM revealed the crystallinity and spherical morphology of the biosynthesized nanoparticles. The size of the particles was found to be 60-70 nm as deduced from XRD and SEM analysis. The particle size of as-synthesized magnesium oxide powders measured by PSA was approximately 100 nm. The successful formation of magnesium oxide nanoparticles was confirmed employing XRD, SEM-EDX and PSA analysis.
