Green Synthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Activity of Cadmium Oxide Nanoparticles Using Calendula Officinali’S Plant

EasyChair Preprint 2453

Abstract

Cadmium oxide NPs are synthesized by using Calendula officinalis extract. Stable cadmium oxide nanoparticles were formed by treating aqueous solution of cadmium nitrate with extract of Calendula offcinalis. The plant extract used as reducing and stabilizing agent. Phytochemicals plays the important role of capping agent in the nano-synthesis. Cadmium oxide NPs are characterized by using different analytical techniques such as ultra-violet spectroscopy (UV), Infrared spectroscopy (IR) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The size of CdO NPs were ranging from 73 to 94nm shown in SEM images. Calendula officinalis mediated CdO NPs exhibited significant antibacterial activity against both bacteria gram negative bacteria and gram positive such as Ecoli and staphylococcus.

Keyphrases: FTIR, SEM, UV-Vis
