Abstract

The overwhelming request for nanodevices and heat flow developments has led to consider magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles as a new dawn to the sophisticated nanotechnology in a sustainable manner. This research presented a facile production of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles using co-precipitation method and the extract of Garcinia Mangostana fruit peel waste as a green stabilizer and capping agent. The X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) planes of the synthesized nanoparticles showed the formation of magnetite Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles with good crystallinity. Based on the image of field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), the diameter of the nanoparticles was estimated to be 69.14±2.87 nm as was coated by the extract. The Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles presented an acceptable magnetization value of 51.17 emu/g. From the analysis of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), the phenolic compounds and other functional groups of the extract had interactions with the Fe ions to successfully synthesize the nanoparticles. The green synthesized Fe₃O₄ nanofluids showed small hydrodynamic size of 145.80±3.14 and high zeta potential value of -30.5±1.82 mV. This study, thus, showed that the extract of Garcinia Mangostana fruit peel waste can serve as a bio-stabilizer and capping agent to enhance physiochemical properties and colloidal stability of the Fe₃O₄ nanofluids with an environmentally-friendly manner and low cost for modern applications.
