Green synthesis and characterization of aluminum oxide nanoparticles using Phoenix dactylifera seed extract along with antimicrobial activity, phytotoxicity, and cytological effects on Vicia faba seeds
Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The present study assessed the green synthesis of aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>-NPs) by using aluminum (Al) foil waste as an Al source and date palm seed extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. Several methodologies were employed to investigate Al<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>-NPs, encompassing X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The UV–visible spectroscopy analysis revealed the presence of an absorption peak at a wavelength of 264 nm, providing evidence for the successful green synthesis of the Al<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>-NPs. The XRD analysis revealed that the average size of the Al<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>-NPs was 32 ± 2.57 nm and had a rhombohedral structure. The EDX facilitated the identification of the elemental composition of the sample, which was found to consist of 40.37% Al and 31.56% O, confirming the high purity of the Al<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>-NPs powder. Furthermore, it was noted that the Al<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>-NPs exhibited the greatest antibacterial efficacy against <jats:italic>Candida albicans</jats:italic> (21 ± 1.85 mm), but no discernible antimicrobial effect was recorded against <jats:italic>Klebsiella pneumoniae</jats:italic> at higher concentrations of Al<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>-NPs. No significant variation in the germination of faba bean seeds was observed upon treatment with Al<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>-NPs. The observed mitotic index in the treatment group was determined to be significantly lower compared to the control cells, based on the duration and dosage of Al<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>-NP exposure. In contrast, for micronuclei (MN) and the prevalence of chromosomal abnormalities, there is a noticeable upward trajectory in this phenomenon. Finally, Al<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>-NPs are employed in a variety of applications, such as biomedical and agriculture.</jats:p>
