AI Article Synopsis
- A new, cost-effective method using Lactobacillus sp. bacteria is introduced for creating Sb(2)O(3) nanoparticles at nearly room temperature.
- X-ray and transmission electron microscopy confirmed the successful formation of these nanoparticles, showing they have a face-centered cubic structure.
- The study details the size of the nanoparticles, ranging from 3 to 12 nm, and proposes a potential mechanism for their synthesis.
Article Abstract
A low-cost green and reproducible microbe (Lactobacillus sp.)-mediated biosynthesis of Sb(2)O(3) nanoparticles is reported. The synthesis was performed at around room temperature. X-ray and transmission electron microscopy analyses were performed to ascertain the formation of Sb(2)O(3) nanoparticles. X-ray analysis indicated that Sb(2)O(3) nanoparticles had a face-centered cubic unit cell structure. Individual nanoparticles as well as a few aggregates of 3-12 nm were found. A possible mechanism for the synthesis of nano Sb(2)O(3) is proposed.
