The research demonstrates a simple and environmentally friendly method of preparing manganese oxide nanoparticles using fenugreek seeds, through hydrothermal and bio-reduction methods. Various characterization techniques were employed to study the structure and properties of the nanoparticles, revealing differences in synthesis efficiency between the two methods.
Conventional fabrication of metal Nanoparticles results with a huge price tag and is hazardous to the environment. Hence Green Technologies is preferred. This work exhibits modest and bio-friendly fabrication methods of Manganese Oxide (MnO) nanoparticles (NPs) with Trigonella Foenum-Graecum (TFG) commonly known as Fenugreek. The extract prepared from fenugreek seeds acts as both reducing as well as capping agent. The work also exhibits an in-depth comparative study on the Hydrothermal method and Bio-reduction method of synthesis on MnO nanoparticles using fenugreek seeds. The structural and morphological characterizations have been done using SEM, X-Ray Diffraction, TEM and compound formation by FTIR, EDX. UV-Vis spectroscopy exhibits two different band gaps for two different methods of synthesis. The Drug release percentage of both the samples with different concentrations and pH were examined and calculated. The study demonstrates that Manganese Oxide nanoparticle formed from Fenugreek seeds by hydrothermal method and Bio-reduction method.
