Summary:Nanotechnology is a crucial topic of current research since it considers the size, structure, and composition of the items to be generated. Metal nanoparticles can be synthesized using various biological systems such as bacteria, fungi, and plant extracts in an environmentally benign, long-lasting, and cost-effective manner. To synthesize Chromium oxide nanoparticles, an extract from dried leaves of Eucalyptus globulous was employed as a natural reducing agent. UV–vis spectroscopy, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDAX) analysis were used to evaluate the produced metal nanoparticles. These studies revealed that the nanoparticles formed due to bio-reduction were of chromium oxide. These nanoparticles also showed antimicrobial activity.
