Abstract

Nanobiotechnology combines biological principles with physical and chemical procedures to generate nano-sized particles with specific functions. A green synthesis of nickel oxide and nickel synthesized by boiling method using an extract of Molinga Olefera. UV/Vis-Spectra showed the maximum absorbance of 280 nm in the Nickel oxide Nanoparticles formation. Boiling method is a new and an up scaling approach for synthesizing Nanoparticles of low cost and green synthesis method. In the present study, Nickel oxide Nanoparticles were prepared via boiling method using Aloe Vera and Nickel Chloride as it is commercially available. The SEM images and FTIR were studied to determine the structure of Nickel Oxide and Nickel Nanoparticles. We have also studied their microbiological activity. In future we are working on their applications in magnetic behavior and anticancer mechanism of the synthesised NiO Nanoparticles that can be use for cancer therapy.

Keywords: Nanobiotechnology by boiling method using an extract of Molinga Olefera.
