Abstract
Abstract
In this study we report the biosynthesis of lead oxide nanoparticles from Ocimum Lamiifolium aqueous extract and lead citrate precursor. Characterization techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and UV-Visible spectroscopy were used to study the desired phase formation, crystal structure and morphology of the synthesized nanostructure. The powder X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that lead oxide nanoparticles with an average crystallite size of 39 nm have been synthesized. Scanning electron microscopy analysis exhibited the surface morphology. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy study also confirmed also the successful synthesis of lead oxide nanoparticles. The UV-Visible spectrum absorbance peak is in the range of 200–250 nm and this corresponds to the characteristic of lead oxide nanoparticles.
