Abstract
A single step environmentally friendly approach is employed to synthesized Zinc and Iron nanoparticles/rods using aloe Vera gel extract. The synthesized Zn Nps were analyzed by using UV-Visible, scanning electron microscope and synthesized Fe Nps were analyzed using UV-Visible spectroscopy, FTIR and TEM. However, the formation of the rods of Zn Nps was confirmed by color change from pale green to golden yellow and the UV-Vis showed surface plasmon absorption and SEM analysis of the synthesized Zinc chloride are clearly distinguished and are measure < 99nm in size. Aloe Vera extract was used as a reducing agent to synthesize iron chloride nanoparticles. The Fe Nps was confirmed by a color change from pale green to brownish red was absorbed by the UV-Visible at about 225nm. FTIR shows the functional groups of the active components and the TEM confirms the development of iron nanostructures.
