Abstract

 

Abstract In this study, iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were synthesized through an environmentally friendly method utilizing an aqueous extract derived from Ocimum basilicum leaves. Various analytical techniques, including UV–Vis spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), were employed to characterize the nanoparticles. The resulting IONPs demonstrated notable antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, suggesting their usefulness in both biomedical and environmental applications.
