Iron oxide Nanoparticles (IONPs) have garnered significant attention due to their diverse application in biomedicine, environmental remediation, and catalysis. In this study, we report the synthesis of IONPs using Catharanthus roseus leaf extract as a green reducing and stabilizing agent. The nanoparticles were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV-Vis spectroscopy. FTIR spectra indicate the presence of biomolecules from the leaf extract adsorbed onto the nanoparticle surface, contributing to their stability and biocompatibility. UV-Vis spectroscopy results showed characteristic absorption peaks in the UV region, indicative of the electronic transitions within the nanoparticles. The green synthesis approach offers several advantages such as cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness, and scalability. The unique properties of Catharanthus roseus leaf extract facilitate the synthesis of well-defined IONPs suitable for various biomedical and environmental applications. This study underscores the potential of plant-mediated synthesis as a sustainable route for nanoparticle production and encourages further exploration in this emerging field.
