Nanoalumina Synthesized from Solanum torvum Leaves: A Green Approach

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study investigates the eco-friendly synthesis of aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al2O3 NPs) using Solanum torvum leaf extract, highlighting its potential in sustainable nanotechnology. The synthesized nanoparticles, with an average size of 94.6 nm, exhibited high crystallinity and diverse morphologies as confirmed through Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray crystallography. The antibacterial properties of these Al2O3 NPs were evaluated against a range of pathogens, including Escherichia coli and Candida albicans, where significant inhibition zones were observed. The findings underscore the effectiveness of Solanum torvum leaf extract as a green synthesis medium for producing Al2O3 nanoparticles. With their promising antibacterial activity, these nanoparticles hold potential for application in various fields, from healthcare to environmental protection, contributing to the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable nanomaterials.
