Abstract :

The researchers have, recently considered using plants and their active components in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles. In this project, the aerial part of Portulaca oleracea L. (Portulacaceae) before the flowering stage, was collected from Roodsar (Gillan province) on June 2017 and the aqueous extract was prepared by warm maceration method. Aqueous extract of the aerial parts (leaves and flowers) of the plant and Ferric chloride solution was heated at 70°C for 3.5 h. and Iron oxide nanoparticles with average size of 90 nm were synthesized, by the co-precipitation method. Formation of the Iron oxide nanoparticles was confirmed by Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Visible), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-Ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD) techniques. The absorption peak at 288 nm confirmed the formation of nanoparticles and FT-IR spectra were showed the presence of organic compounds around the nanoparticles. XRD results showed the phase of hematite (α-Fe2O3) for the synthesized nanoparticles. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX) confirmed the formation and purity of the nanoparticles. TEM image showed that the synthesized Iron oxide nanoparticles have a spheroid/cube geometry. The nanoparticles were stabilized by the organic compounds of the extract and were not agglomerated. These organic compounds can also improve the capacity of the nanoparticles in environmental remediation.
