Phytosynthesis of Cadmium Oxide Nanoparticles from Achillea wilhelmsii Flowers (original) (raw)
2013, Journal of Chemistry
e study here deals with the plant synthesis of cadmium oxide nanoparticles using �owers extract of Achillea wilhelmsii as the reducing agent. e photosynthesis is carried out at room temperature in the laboratory ambience. e aqueous cadmium ions when exposed to �ower extract were reduced and resulted in their nanoparticles. e synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using techniques such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. Stable cadmium oxide nanoparticles were formed by treating aqueous solution of cadmium chloride (CdCl 2 ) with the plant �ower extracts as reducing agent.
