Biofabrication of Fe nanoparticles in aqueous extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa with enhanced photocatalytic activities

Abstract: Hibiscus sabdariffa is a strongly basic dye with a large number of medicinal applications and is used for various diagnostic purposes. The biofabrication of Fe nanoparticles using Hibiscus sabdariffa (Roselle) flower extract is an eco-friendly and cost-effective protocol reported for the first time in the present investigation. The natural plant extract acts as a non-toxic, biodegradable and economical reducing agent in the biosynthesis of the Fe nanoparticles. Different well-known complementary characterizati… Show more

“…The regression coefficient (R 2 ¼ 0.99) conrmed that the photocatalytic degradation of MB followed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model. 19 The electrons are excited during sunlight when the photons hit the surface of NPs present in the colloidal mixture. The dissolved molecules of oxygen in the solution accept the excited electrons from the surface of NPs and converted into oxygen anion radicals.…”
