Abstract

 The development of nanomaterials via green chemistry has gained momentum due to its minimal environmental impact and sustainability. In this research, iron oxide nanoparticles (FeO-NPs) were synthesized utilizing aqueous extracts of Moringa oleifera leaves. The phytochemicals present in the leaf extract acted as natural reducing and capping agents during synthesis. The formed nanoparticles were thoroughly characterized to determine their structural and morphological attributes. Their antibacterial efficacy, free radical scavenging ability, and photocatalytic performance were investigated. The results confirmed the nanoparticles' potential for applications in environmental remediation and biomedicine, owing to their multifunctional bioactivity.xxxxxxxxxx
