Parallel synthesis and optimization of magnesium oxide nanoparticles using Tridax procumbens and Myristica fragrance

Abstract

The Magnesium oxide nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using Magnesium nitrate as the precursor and extract of Tridax procumbens leaf and Myristica fragrance (Nutmeg) were used as the reducing and stabilizing agent. Parallel synthesis of Magnesium Oxide nanoparticles were carried out. Synthesized MgONPs were characterized by FT-IR, Ultraviolet–visible SEM & XRD techniques. The structure and size of the Magnesium oxide nanocrystals were obtained from XRD analysis. The sizes of the Magnesium oxide nanocrystals were 10.41 ​nm and 7.45 ​nm and having cubic structure. SEM analysis results 31.14 ​nm and 32.40 ​nm sizes of Magnesium oxide nanoparticles.
