The phytosynthesis of n-type Cadmium Oxide Nanoparticles reduces the toxicity of the substance and makes it Eco-friendly. This Eco-friendly biosynthesis of CdO NPs was synthesized for the first time from the Queen of herbs, Ocimum Sanctum (holy basil).The biosynthesized Cadmium oxide was prepared using Ocimum leaf extract as a reductant and Cadmium Chloride and hydroxide as cadmium and oxide source materials by Co- Precipitation method. Thus obtained Cadmium Oxide Nanoparticles were characterized by different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscope (SEM),Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS) to study the structural and morphological properties. XRD pattern exhibited the formation of face centered cubic structure of CdO NPs with an average crystalline size of 11.5nm .The chemical bond formation of CdO NPs were confirmed by FTIR spectrum in the range of (400-4000cm-1). The SEM micrographs revealed the predominant formation of Cauliflower shape with a particle size in the range of 61-142nm. The high purity of the biosynthesized nanoparticles were confirmed by EDS analysis. Further it was tested against gram positive and gram negative bacterial strains and showed significant antibacterial activity. This biosynthetic research study opens an innovative window to progress our understanding of how CdO NPs shows resistance to different bacterial strains.

The interest in miniaturization of particles revealed the hidden applications of metal oxides. The potential applications of the particles may vary when the size of the particle is reduced. One of the alternative routes to the conventional approach is the use of plant extract for the synthesis of metal oxides NPs. In the framework of this study, the ecofriendly MgO nanoparticles were synthesized using Acalypha Indica leaf extract,functioning as reducing and capping agent by co-precipitation method. The predecessor taken here was Magnesium Nitrate. The biologically synthesized MgO NPs were characterized by various techniques like X ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), Scanning electron microscope (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX) profile and its antibacterial activity is evaluated against causative organisms. XRD studies confirmed the face centered cubic crystalline structure of MgO NPs and the average crystalline size of MgO NPs calculated using Scherer’s formula was found to be 13 nm. FTIR spectrum shows a significant Mg-O vibrational band. Purity, surface morphology and chemical composition of elements were confirmed by SEM with EDX. The SEM result shows the fine spherical morphology with the grain size range between 43nm to 62nm. Antimicrobial assay of MgO NPs was examined against gram positive and negative bacteria. Appreciated activity was observed on the Staphylococcus aureus bacterial species. In general, the renewed attempt of this facile approach gave the optimum results of multifunctional MgO NPs.

The magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs) were prepared from Moringa oleifera leaf extract. Phytochemicals are derived from plant extract which are served as stabilizing and capping agents. This green route has been attracted owing to speed, reliable, and eco-friendly and cost-effective one. The synthesized magnesium oxide nanoparticles were taken into three different calcination temperatures (500, 600, and 700°C). The powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) study shows a pure phase of face-centered cubic structure. Periclase MgO nanoparticles were prepared. The optical band gap of MgO nanoparticles is 4.5 eV, and its absorption in the UV region was observed by UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). Photoluminescence spectra have exhibited multicolor emissions were being at UV and visible region due to defect centers (F centers) of MgO nanoparticles. EDX (energy dispersive X-ray spectrum) has given the stoichiometric ratio of Mg and O. The functional groups have been studied by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), surface morphology transformation has been identified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies, and VSM measurements have given the information of diamagnetic nature of MgO nanoparticles. H-R TEM micrographs have confirmed that particles were in nanorange matched with XRD report. Polycrystalline nature has been observed pattern information. TG-DSC characterization revealed phase transition and weight loss information. D-band and G-band of MgO nanoparticles are studied by micro-Raman analysis. Dielectric analysis has proven that MgO nanoparticles will be a promising candidate for linear dielectric ceramics, thermistor.

The conventional methods for the synthesis of metal oxides intake large amount of hazardous chemicals, the best promising alternative is the use of plant extracts. In this work, calcium oxide nanoparticles of 16 nm size with the cubic shape were synthesized using the papaya leaf extract by the simple greener route using calcium chloride as a source material by co-precipitation method. By using the XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and EDAX (Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis), the structural,surface morphology, functional group and the antibacterial activity of the synthesized calcium oxide nanoparticles were analyzed. The XRD pattern of the CaO nanoparticles was well matched with the standard value and the crystalline size obtained using the Scherer formula was 16 nm. The elemental composition of the prepared sample was confirmed by the EDAX result. The presence of the functional groups of the synthesized CaO nanoparticles was confirmed by the FTIR analysis (4000-400 cmˉ1). The cubic morphology was identified from the SEM image and the grain size ranges from 125-218 nm. The CaO nanoparticles were further evaluated for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and klebsiella pneumonia and from the result it was found that CaO nanoparticles was active against both gram positive and gram negativebacteria.Therefore, it may be an emerging platform for new medicines.

A simple and modified chemical precipitation method is used for synthesis of different PEG assisted cadmium oxide nanoparticles. The prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, ultraviolet, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The XRD patterns revealed the cubic phases and calculated particle sizes are 36.42, 34.27, 33.54 and 35.21 nm for pure CdO with 2, 4 and 6 % PEG nanoparticles respectively, From these results, it can be observed that the average crystalline size decreases with increasing PEG concentration. The functional groups and band area of the product were established by FT-IR spectroscopy. The band gap energy of CdO nanoparticles increased from 2.54 to 2.94 eV by increasing PEG concentration .The surface morphology and element composition have been confirmed form SEM with EDX analysis. In addition, the photocatalytic performance of PEG assisted CdO nanoparticles with methylene blue indicated that the CdO can be utilized a good photocatalyst for degradation of methylene blue.

The objective of this study was to develop a novel silica modified large-sized hydroxyapatite whiskers with improved properties for use in bone repair applications. Large-sized whiskers with a mean length of 250μm were obtained by a hydrothermal co-precipitation method at 150°C, 7.5Mpa in high-pressure reactor. Silica modified hydroxyapatite whiskers were prepared by dissolving TEOS in ethanol solution, then sintering with hydroxyapatite. The compositional and morphological properties of prepared whiskers were studied by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fouier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated the evidence of nanosilicon dioxide particles on the surface of HAP whiskers. The size of nanosilicon dioxide particles depends on dropping and stirring rate. Hence, this new type of silica modified large-sized hydroxyapatite whiskers is a valuable candidate for biomedical applications.Key words: hydroxyapatite, hydrothermal co-precipitation, surface modified, whiskers
