Abstract
Green synthesis of nanostructures is a growing technology owing to its potential applications in various fields. The method is feasible, simple and non-toxic; it is a low-cost strategy. It meets the standards of green chemistry, high crystalline nature and morphological structures. In this work, green synthesis of barium sulphate nanostructure was carried out by using Azadirachta indica (neem) leaf extract, barium chloride dehydrates and anhydrous sodium sulphate as source materials, by co-precipitation method. The as-synthesized barium sulphate nanostructures were subjected to different characterization techniques for their structural, functional, morphological and elemental studies by using XRD, FTIR, SEM and EDX. XRD reveals the orthorhombic crystal phase with a sharp diffraction peaks phase. SEM studies revealed the rice grain-like structures with an average diameter of 71.36 nm. Furthermore, a better understanding of this biological phenomenon may provide new insights for enhancing nanomaterial usage in the future.
