Green Synthesis of α-Fe2O3 Nanoparticles Mediated Musa Acuminata: A study of Their Applications as Photocatalytic Degradation and Antibacterial Agent

The present study was aimed to green synthesize of α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) using flower extract Musa acuminata and examination their antibacterial photocatalytic activities. synthesized NPs were investigated UV-visible spectroscopy, which exhibited a colour change pattern, the maximum absorption peak at 265 nm confirmed formation NPs. FTIR analysis showed presence various functional groups coated over XRD pattern that rhombohedral structure with an average crystallite size 21.86 nm. FESEM micrographs revealed roughly spherical in shape. EDX spectrum Fe O elements. By TEM analysis, particle calculated be 32 Using well diffusion method, activity tested against both gram positive negative bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) Escherichia coli (E. coli). good bacteria. Finally, demonstrated degradation Crystal Violet (CV) dye under sunlight. efficiency within 150 min determined 90.27% for CV. This effective removal method sunlight may support cost-effective CV dyes from wastewater.
