Preparation and Characterization of Zinc doped Magnetite Nanoparticles using Green Synthesis

Abstract

Zinc doped Nanomagnetite was synthesized in lab by biological method using plant extract as it does not involve any harmful chemicals and are ecofriendly in nature.  In the present work, zinc doped magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized using completely green synthesis by chemical route method. The band- gap of the zinc doped Fe₃O₄-NPs was investigated by UV-Vis Absorption Spectroscopy, grain size is calculated using XRD  and its energy shifting was studied by FTIR , also  its conductivity (i.e. the ability or power to conduct or transmit heat, electricity, or sound) was measured by TDS Conductivity meter. The doped nanoparticles synthesized through this green method can potentially useful in various biomedical applications.
