Parallel Synthesis and Optimization of Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles Using Tridax Procumbens and Myristica Fragrance

Abstract

The Magnesium oxide nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using Magnesium nitrate as the precursor and extract of Tridax procumbens leaf and Myristica fragrance (Nutmeg) were used as the reducing and stabilizing agent. Two parallel synthesis of Magnesium oxide nanoparticles were carried out. Synthesized Magnesium oxide particles in nano size were characterized by FT-IR, Ultraviolet-visible SEM & XRD techniques. The formed nanoparticles were confirmed as Magnesium oxide nanoparticles by UV- Visible, FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. The structure and size of the Magnesium oxide nanoparticles were obtained from XRD analysis. The size of the Magnesium oxide nanoparticles was 20.10 nm and 9.21 nm. SEM analysis results sphere like and rhombic crystalline shape and morphology of Magnesium oxide nanoparticles.
