Popis: This work reported the influence of seaweed (Sargassumcrassifolium) extract on the absorption of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONPs) via green synthesis route. The seaweed extract acted as reducing and capping agent. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectra revealed the presence of sharp peaks at around 366 nm to 371 nm which corresponds to the absorption spectra of MIONPs. The absorption peaks corresponding to MIONPs was significantly affected by the varying amount of seaweed extract. On the other hand, Fourier Transform-Infrared (FTIR) spectra revealed the presence of the vibration mode around 532 cm-1 to 551 cm-1 which corresponds to Fe-O bands suggesting the successful formation of MIONPs. Thermogravimetric (TGA) spectra showed that the produced MIONPs stabilizes at 400 °C. The synthesized MIONPs are spherical in shape with an estimated average diameter of 20 nm as revealed by the Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). Finally, the produced MIONPs exhibit magnetic property via attraction with an external magnet. This straight forward green synthesis of MIONPs can be a good route for possible industrial and environmental application.
