Abstract
Nanoscale materials often present properties different from their bulk counterparts as their high surface to volume ratio results in the exponential increase of reactivity at the molecular level. Transition metal oxides are an intriguing class of materials due to their diverse structural choices and interesting physicochemical properties. In this respect, manganese oxides have a great potential because of their ability to adapt various oxidation states and particularly nanostructured hausmannite (Mn3O4) has efficacious application in the fields of pharmaceutical industries, catalysis, biosensors, high-density magnetic storage media, varistors etc. The present study reports the preparation of biosynthesized trimanganese tetraoxide nanoparticles by the reduction of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) using Azadirachta Indica leaf extract at room temperature. The biosynthesized nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet radiation spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry. Crystal phase identification of the nanoparticles was characterized by XRD analysis, and the formation of crystalline Mn3O4 has been confirmed. FTIR spectrum discloses the major functional groups and the chemical information present in the nanostructure. UV-Vis studies were performed to investigate the optical properties of the prepared samples. Morphological studies were carried out using SEM at various magnification levels. The magnetic properties of nanoparticles as a function of magnetic field were investigated using VSM. The Gel-Diffusion technique was used to test antibacterial activity against microorganisms.
