induced nanostructured CaFeO for evaluation of photo catalytic degradation of cardiovascular drugs and bio toxicity.

Biosynthesis of nanoparticles is increasingly becoming popular due to the demand for sustainable technologies worldwide. In the present investigation, plant extract fuelled combustion technique followed by calcination at 600 °C was adopted to prepare nanocrystalline CaFeO. The prepared nano compound was characterised using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Ultra Violet (UV) spectroscopy, Infrared (IR) spectroscopy and its role was assessed for photocatalytic pollutant degradation along with bactericidal action in the concentration range of 1 μg/mL to 320 μg/mL.
