A unique way, green, cost-effective, and direct fabrication method is proposed for the synthesis of Nickel Oxide Nanoparticles (NPs) in an eco-environmentally way through leaf extract of Suaeda maritima (L.) Dumort. The nickel oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using Nickel (II) nitrate hexahydrate as a metal source and aqueous leaf extract of S. maritima was utilized as a green reducing agent. The formation of NPs was monitored by the change in color in the reaction mixture and the synthesized NPs were characterized using UV-visible spectrophotometer, Fourier Transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope (FE SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Further, the antibacterial activity of synthesized NPs was carried using the agar plate well diffusion method and antioxidant activity by DPPH free radical scavenging activity of the NPs was studied. The UV-visible absorption spectra of nanoparticles show a characteristic maximum absorption peak centered at 397 nm. The functional group analysis by FT-IR confirms the presence of various bio-active functional groups in the synthesized particles. The structural characterization confirms that the particles were Face Centred Cubic lattice structure having IR-regular in shape and rough surface with average atomic weight percentages of 76.3%. The synthesized nanoparticles were found to be potent against the growth of gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria. In the DPPH assay, the IC 50 values of the synthesized NPs were found to be 28.01 μg/mL which is very close to standard ascorbic acid (22.19 μg/mL) whereas the IC 50 of the aqueous plant leaf extract was found to be 47.30 μg/m confirms that the nanoparticles having enhanced antioxidant activity. From the results of the study it can be concluded that this protocol is simple, rapid, one step, eco-friendly, non-toxic for the synthesis of nickel nanoparticles.

This study was planned to synthesize a multifunctional nanomaterial that can effectively encounter the organic pollutants, multidrug-resistant bacteria and reactive free radicals. The Bergenia ciliate (B. ciliate) leaves extract was used as a reducing and capping agent for the synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NP). The physicochemical properties were studied through X-ray diffractometre (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-visible and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies. The highly crystalline monoclinic NiO NPs were synthesized with crystallite size of 27.45 nm. The average particle size derived from TEM micrograph was 49.35 nm whereas the calculated band gap for NiO NPs was 3.78 eV. The photocatalytic study shows that 92.17% of the rhodamine 6G (Rh-6G) was efficiently degraded in the presence of NiO NPs. The agar well diffusion method was applied to examine the antibacterial activity of NiO NPs and the activity was found higher against Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) as compared to Gram-positive bacteria (GPB). The ABTS free radical scavenging activity was also performed, however, the activity was found less than the standard.

The present investigation demonstrates the formation of silver nanoparticles by the reduction of the aqueous silver metal ions during exposure to the Lagenaria siceraria leaf extract. The synthesized AgNPs have characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques. AgNPs formation has screened by UV-visible spectroscopy through colour conversion due to surface plasma resonance band at 427 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed that the resulting AgNPs are highly crystalline and the structure is face centered cubic (fcc). FT-IR spectrum indicates the presence of different functional groups present in the biomolecules capping the nanoparticles. Further, inhibitory activity of AgNPs and leaf extract were tested against human pathogens like gram-pastive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis), gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The results indicated that the AgNPs showed moderate inhibitory actions against human pathogens than Lagenaria siceraria leaf extract, demonstrating its antimicrobial value against pathogenic diseases

Green synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) usingPhysalisangulataleaf extract (PALE) as weak base sources and stabilizing agents has been reported. Chemical bonding and vibration spectroscopy, crystallographic structure, optical band gap, particle size and microscopic studies of NiO NPs were also investigated. Ni-O vibration modes of NiO NPs were analyzed by FTIR and Raman instrument at ~400 and ~900 cm-1wavenumber. XRD pattern of NiO NPs confirmed cubic crystal structure with space groupFm-3m.Optical band gap of NiO NPs determined by using Tauc plot method was about 3.42 eV. Particle size analyzer showed size distribution of NiO NPs was 64.13 nm which confirm NiO formed in nanoscale. Electron microscopic studies of NiO NPs were observed by using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.

The present study reports the successful synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles using Vernonia amygdalina plant leaf extracts as a chelating agent and nickel (II) chloride hexahydrate (NiCl2•6H2O) as precursor. The synthesized powder was gray black in color and annealed at 500 °C for 2 hours to obtain nickel oxide nanoparticles. Characterization techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to study the structure and morphology of the nanoparticles. Powder X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that nickel oxide nanoparticles with an average crystallite size of 17.86nm were synthesized. Scanning electron microscope images show that the nanoparticles have octahedral structure. Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer analysis revealed that the strongest bond at 1094.8cm-1 corresponds to stretching vibration mode of Ni-O nanoparticles.

Nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO-NPs) are abundantly utilized on a large scale in different applications due to positive attributes and cause environmental pollution that may affect not only aquatic organisms but also the human beings. The co-precipitation method was used to synthesize NiO-NPs and particles were characterized through Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analysis, Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). FTIR and SEM confirmed the attached functional group and crystal structure of synthesized nanoparticles, respectively. From XRD pattern, average particle size, X-ray density, lattice parameters (a, b and c) and volume of unit cell of nickel oxide nanoparticles were found to be 53.44 nm, 6.65 g/cm3, (a =b=c=4.56 Å) and 94.81 Å3, respectively. During this study, the acute toxicity of NiO-NPs was determined by using fish, Labeo rohita. The mean 96-h LC50 and lethal concentration were measured as 418.26 and 634.94 mg/L, respectively. The activity of catalase and superoxide dismutase was determined in fish gills and liver after chronic exposure to sub-lethal concentration of NiO-NPs for 90 days and sampling was done in 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 days. Significant time dependent variations in the activity of catalase and superoxide dismutase were determined in tissues of the gills and liver than control group during studied time interval. The overall results indicated that induced toxicity of NiO-NPs in aquatic organisms may be due to release of Ni ions from NiO-NPs and NPs induce toxicity in cells through oxidative stress under long term exposure.
