Green synthesis of lead oxide nanoparticles for photo-electrocatalytic and antimicrobial applications.

ABSTRACT: Synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) for many different uses requires the development of environmentally friendly synthesis protocols. In this article, we present a simple and environmentally friendly method to synthesize lead oxide (PbO) NPs from the plant material of the Mangifera indica. Analytical techniques such as spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and microscopy were used to characterize the synthesized PbO NPs, and their photo-electrocatalytic and antifungal properties were also evaluated. H₂O₂ was used to investigate the efficacy of removing methylene blue dye. At a range of pH values, H₂O₂ was used to study the role of hydroxyl radicals in the breakdown of methylene blue dye. Methylene blue dyes are more easily eliminated due to increa
