Biofabrication of platinum nanoparticles using fumariae herba extract and their catalytic properties

الملخص EN

Due to the increasing popularity of using plant extract in the synthesis of nanoparticles, this study presented the synthesis of platinum nanoparticles using Fumariae herba extract.

The formation of platinum nanoparticles was confirmed by UV–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDS profile.

Transmission electron micrograph presented the hexagonal and pentagonal shape of the synthesized nanoparticles sized about 30 nm.

Moreover, platinum nanoparticles presented good catalytic properties in the reduction of methylene blue and crystal violet.
