Summary: | Biomediated ecofriendly method for the synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles using plants extracts (
Toona ciliata
,
Ficus carica
and
Pinus roxburghii
) has been reported
.
The nanoparticles so obtained were characterized by various techniques such as ultraviolet–visible, powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Formation of nickel oxide nanoparticles was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction where the former technique ascertains the formation of bond between nickel and oxygen. The nickel oxide nanoparticles were found to be crystalline cubic face centered and show intense photoluminescence emission at 416, 414 and 413 nm, respectively. The antibacterial activity was studied against gram positive and gram negative bacterial species by agar well diffusion method. The nickel oxide nanoparticles show better activity against some bacterial strains with reference to the standard drugs Ciprofloxacin and Gentamicin. The anthelmintic activity against
Pheretima posthuma
of nanomaterials obtained from
Pinus roxburghii
was found to be greater than that derived from
Toona ciliata
and
Ficus carica
using the standard drug Albendazole. This method takes the advantage of the sustainable and economic approach for the synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles.
