In this paper, Jr.NiFeO nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized first time using the leaves extract of Juglans regia via a straightforward process. The physio and phytochemical analysis of plant confirm the presence of macromolecules which function as bio-reductant and stabilize the nanoparticles. The Jr.NiFeO NPs were characterized by UV-visible, FTIR spectroscopy, PXRD pattern, SEM and TGA/DTA analysis. The nanoparticles proved to be optically active having a value of indirect bandgap of energy in the range of 1.53 eV. The Jr.NiFeO NPs have the ability in scavenging 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl hydrate (DPPH) free radicals and showed 58.01% ± 1.2% scavenging activity at 100 µg/mL concentrations. The photocatalytic degradation study of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and Congo red (CR) reveals that the highest degradation rate was acquired for CIP using pH = 3, at 254 nm, while 85% of removal rate was analysed for CR. The kinetic studies in case of CR removal followed pseudo-first-order model with thermodynamic parameters (∆G° = - 5.87 kJ mol K, ΔH° = 1393.50 kJ mol and ΔS° = 22.537 kJ mol K) with error analysis. Overall, these data recommend an innovative inspiring application of a plant-mediated synthesis of Jr.NiFeO NPs.
本研究首次采用 Juglans regia 叶片提取物通过简单的方法合成了 NiFeO 纳米粒子(NPs)。植物的生理和生化分析证实了存在大分子物质,这些物质起到生物还原剂的作用并稳定了纳米颗粒。通过 UV-可见分光光度计、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、X 射线粉末衍射(PXRD)图谱、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和热重分析/差示扫描量热法(TGA/DTA)对 Jr.NiFeO NPs 进行了表征。结果表明,纳米颗粒具有光活性,其间接带隙能值在 1.53 eV 范围内。Jr.NiFeO NPs 具有清除 2,2-二苯基-1-苦基肼基(DPPH)自由基的能力,在 100 μg/mL 浓度下,清除率达到 58.01%±1.2%。环丙沙星(CIP)和刚果红(CR)的光催化降解研究表明,在 pH=3、254nm 时,CIP 的降解率最高,而 CR 的去除率为 85%。在 CR 去除的动力学研究中,遵循准一级动力学模型,热力学参数(∆G°=−5.87 kJ mol K,ΔH°=1393.50 kJ mol 和 ΔS°=22.537 kJ mol K)并进行误差分析。总的来说,这些数据为基于植物介导合成 NiFeO NPs 的创新性应用提供了参考。
