Abstract

Today the global emphasis lies in developing a facile, cost-effective, and eco-friendly method for metallic nanoparticle synthesis. Leaves of Citrus Limon were studied for its applicability in the vegetable synthesis of nanostructured nickel particles (NiNPs). A mathematical model was designed based on response surface methodology for optimizing the process parameters. The results were analyzed using ANOVA. The nanoparticle formation was evaluated by UV-Vis spectrophotometer, laser diffraction method, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, and Fourier- transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. TEM analysis revealed that the particles were preferably spherical, and the particle size results showed good agreement with the size calculated from XRD.
