Abstract
The aim of this study is to produce iron III oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles due to their wide application area. The ethanolic extract of curcuma was used in the synthesis method due to number of advantages. These benefits include being inexpensive, widely accessible, simple to extract, and less prone to contamination. The produced particles were analyzed via scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive analysis (EDX), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Furthermore, the zeta potential of Fe2O3 particles was determined, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV) analysis and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis were done. According to the results obtained, granular nanoparticles with particle sizes ranging from 30 to 80 nm were synthesized and it was determined that they were sufficiently stable.
