Abstract
Green synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles is an emerging field of research that enhances the dispersion and stability of the NPs. The NiONPs were synthesized using the Butea monosperma gum extract as a reducing, potential stabilizing and chelating agent. The size, morphology, crystallinity and shape of synthesized nanoparticles were studied by using characterization methods Zetasizer, UV–Vis, XRD, FTIR, (SEM), and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). NiONPs show a face-centered cubic crystalline structure in their XRD Spectra. UV–visible examination revealed a band in between 250 and 300 nm and it shows an optical band gap is 3.2eV, indicating the synthesis of NiONPs. The luminescence emission peaks appeared at 351, 440, 486, and 530 nm. The morphological features of nickel oxide nanoparticles are slightly agglomerated and then size of green synthesized NiONPs as found in between 20 and 22 nm. The antibacterial activity of NiONPs were show significant inhibitory activity against different bacterial strains. The area of inhibition for Bacillus subtilis was observed (12.3 ± 0.4) mm and for Staphylococcus aureus observed (15.3 ± 0.4) mm showed good antibacterial potential of synthesized NiONPs. Furthermore, on human erythrocytes, NiONPs have essential non-toxic characteristics, and they interfere with the coagulation cascade's activity in both PRP and PPP on human blood. The NiONPs synthesized through the proposed methodology could be of great benefit for further clinical trials, drug designing and wastewater treatment.
