GREEN SYNTHESIS OF ZINC OXALATE AND OXIDE NANOPARTICLES” USING AVERRHOA BILIMBI L:- A RENEWABLE SOURCE OF OXALIC ACID

Dr. Anna R. Anthony*

Abstract

Metal carboxylates have been widely investigated and have been used as precursors in the production of metal oxide nanomaterials. Generally, these metal carboxylates are thermally decomposed at relatively low temperatures into the corresponding metal oxide nanomaterials. Afacile and green approach for the synthesis of metal oxalates and their subsequent thermal decomposition to the oxide nanoparticles. This approach is based on mixing the metal ion solution and the fruit juice extract without the use of hazardous organic compounds or surfactants. The prepared complexe and its various thermal decomposition products have characterized by FTIR, and SEM.
