Nanotechnology has emerged as a futuristic and front line technology with multitudinous applications in a wide array of fields. Propitious and pertinence of nanoparticles in variety of fields have made its synthesis a matter of great interest in recent times. Green technology based synthesis has evolved as boon over Conventional methods because it rapid, safe, eco-friendly, cost effective approach. In present study, iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using a rapid and completely green biosynthetic method by reduction of ferric chloride solution with banana peels (Musa paradisaca). Synthesis and structural properties of the iron oxide nanoparticles were investigated by UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Dynamic light scattering (DLS), and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). UV-Vis spectra shows absorption peaks at 368 nm. FTIR shows protein as stabilizing agent. The average particle diameter as determined by SEM and DLS 250 nm and 200 nm AFM analysis Synthesized nanoparticles were not found to be effective against selected microbes. Thus it can be concluded from above result that the plant extract is cost effective and eco-friendly and effective alternative for the large scale synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles.
