Synthesis, Characterisation And Antibacterial Activity Of Tin Oxide Nanoparticles Using Ipomea Carnea Flower Extract

Abstract

In this research, we describe the use of a green synthesis approach to create SnO2 nanoparticles (NPs). For the synthesis of SnO2 NPs, Ipomea carnea flower extract was utilised as a reducing and stabilising agent. XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, SAED, EDAX, PL, and UV-vis spectroscopy were used to analyse the produced SnO2 NPs. The green produced SnO2 NPs had a high purity, according to the results. Under visible light illumination, the photocatalytic properties of green produced SnO2 NPs were tested against Methylene Blue (MB) and Eosin Yellow (EY) dyes. Using the disc diffusion technique, the antibacterial activity were also evaluated against gramme positive and gramme negative microorganisms. The photocatalytic and antibacterial performance of the biosynthesized SnO2 NPs was found to be much greater than that of commercial SnO2. Furthermore, the Green synthesised SnO2 was also extremely reusable.
