Kavak Kök Özütü Kullanılarak Yeşil Sentez Yöntemiyle Ag₂O, Fe₃O₄ Nanopartikülleri ve Ag₂O/Fe₃O₄ Nanokompozitinin Sentezi ve Karakterizasyonu

Öz

Bu çalışmada, kavak kökü özütü kullanılarak çevre dostu yeşil sentez yöntemiyle Ag₂O, Fe₃O₄ nanopartikülleri ve Ag₂O/Fe₃O₄ nanokompoziti başarıyla sentezlenmiştir. GC-MS analiz sonuçlarına göre, özütte anti-inflamatuar, anti-anjiyojenik ve antioksidan özelliklere sahip çeşitli biyoaktif bileşenlerin varlığı tespit edilmiş, bu bileşiklerin nanopartikül oluşumu ve stabilizasyonunda etkili olduğu değerlendirilmiştir. FT-IR analizleri, elde edilen nanopartikül ve nanokompozitlerin fonksiyonel gruplar açısından zengin bir yüzey kimyasına sahip olduğunu ve Ag-O ile Fe-O bağlarının karakteristik bantlarla doğrulandığını ortaya koymuştur. XRD analizleri, her bir yapının kristal fazlarının Ag₂O ve Fe₃O₄’e özgü karakteristik kırınım pikleriyle uyumlu olduğunu göstermiştir. SEM görüntüleri ile Ag₂O, Fe₃O₄, Ag₂O/Fe₃O₄ örneklerinin morfolojileri incelenmiştir. EDS analizleri, nanoyapıların elementel kompozisyonunu doğrulamıştır. Hemoliz test sonuçları, tüm nanoyapıların %5 hemoliz eşiğinin altında kaldığını göstermiş ve bu yapıların hemouyumlu olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Sonuç olarak kavak kök özütünün eşsiz fitokimyasal içeriği sayesinde düşük maliyetli, çevreci ve sürdürülebilir bir yöntem ile metal oksit nanopartiküller ve metal oksit nanokompozitleri sentezlenmiştir.

Synthesis and Characterization of Ag₂O, Fe₃O₄ Nanoparticles and Ag₂O/Fe₃O₄ Nanocomposite via Green Synthesis Method Using Poplar Root Extract

Öz

In this study, Ag₂O, Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles, and an Ag₂O/Fe₃O₄ nanocomposite were successfully synthesized using poplar root extract via an environmentally friendly green synthesis method. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of various bioactive components with anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and antioxidant properties in the extract, and these compounds were evaluated to be effective in nanoparticle formation and stabilization. FT-IR analyses revealed that the obtained nanoparticles and nanocomposites had a surface chemistry rich in functional groups, and characteristic bands confirmed the Ag-O and Fe-O bonds. XRD analyses showed that the crystalline phases of each structure were consistent with the characteristic diffraction peaks specific to Ag₂O and Fe₃O₄. The morphologies of Ag₂O, Fe₃O₄, and Ag₂O/Fe₃O₄ samples were examined using SEM images. EDS analyses confirmed the elemental composition of the nanostructures. Hemolysis test results showed that all nanostructures remained below the 5% hemolysis threshold, demonstrating their hemocompatibility. In conclusion, metal oxide nanoparticles and metal oxide nanocomposites were synthesized using a low-cost, environmentally friendly, and sustainable method, leveraging the unique phytochemical content of poplar root extract.
