Synthesis and exploration of ion nanoparticles using costus after flower extract as a reducing agent

Description

Abstract This study shows the synthesis of iron nanoparticles using costus after flower extract as a reducing agent. The reduction process of Fe3+ to Fe was observed by a change of color from red to dark reddish-brown color. The reaction was followed by the characterization of iron nanoparticles using UV-visible spectra of an aqueous solution containing iron nanoparticles that showed a peak at 516nm. These were carried out in a laboratory using standard chemical procedures to carry out this research and make sure standard rules and procedures were followed. The reactions were observed and we’re recorded giving room to more and more future research to be carried out on ion nanoparticles.
