Green Synthesis and characterization of Magnesium oxide nanoparticles by using Garlic Extract

الملخص

 This study presents the green synthesis of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs) using garlic (Allium sativum) extract as a natural reducing and capping agent, combined with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for the precipitation process. The synthesized MgO NPs were characterized using advanced analytical techniques, including UV-Vis spectroscopy for optical properties, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to confirm functional groups involved in the synthesis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) to assess crystallinity, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphological analysis. Results showed that these techniques confirmed the successful synthesis of MgO NPs and exhibited promising properties suitable for various applications, including antibacterial activities. This research highlights the potential of plant-based methods in advancing sustainable nanomaterial production. The green synthesis approach demonstrated advantages such as simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and reduced environmental impact
