Sulphur nanoparticles, Ficus religiosa, bioactivity, green synthesisAbstract
We employed an economical, swift, and environmentally friendly approach to synthesize sulphur nanoparticles, utilizing an extract from Ficus religiosa leaves. Comprehensive characterization of these nanoparticles was performed through UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, and FESEM techniques. The X-ray diffraction method unequivocally confirmed the nanometre-scale dimensions of the synthesized sulphur nanoparticles. SEM analysis elucidated their spherical morphology, while XRD data indicated a crystalline size of 23.4 nm for these prepared nanoparticles. Besides, the antibacterial assessment of sulphur nanoparticles produced from Ficus religiosa leaves exhibited superior bioactivity against harmful bacteria species such as Escherichia Coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
