- Description
In this investigation, we report a rapid and eco-friendly method for the fabrication of palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) using Andean Mora fruit extract, as a bioreductant and ultrasonication. The fabricated PdNPs were characterized using visual, UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). TEM, DLS and XRD analysis confirmed PdNPs are spherical, 50-70 nm and crystalline face-centered cubic structure. Furthermore, the as-fabricated PdNPs demonstrated weak antioxidant activity (>8%, 0.05 mM) against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and strong photocatalytic degradation towards the methylene blue (>77%, 10 mg/L), efficiently. Ultrasonication enhanced biofabrication of nanomaterials finds the edge over chemical methods due to its economical and environmental compatibility.
