Abstract
The green approach is a simple and efficient method for generating metal oxide nanoparticles. Magnesium oxide nanoparticles gained prominence due to their unique biodegradation, microbe growth inhibition, and non-toxicity properties. The seed extract of Eucalyptus tereticornis was used to make magnesium oxide nanoparticles in this research. Using X-ray diffraction data, the average crystallite size of nanoparticles is estimated to be about 10 nm. Face-centered cubic structured magnesium oxide nanoparticles have a spherical surface morphology, as seen in transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy images. Fourier transform infra-red spectra are used to identify functional groups involved in the stabilization and reduction of precursor salt. Magnesium oxide nanoparticles are employed for a variety of applications including temperature dehydrating agents, high-grade ceramic materials, optoelectronic fields, and bio-medical studies such as antibacterial and antimicrobial.
