Abstract

The article explores the facile synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) using Cassia auriculata flower extract, a method that is both eco-friendly and cost-effective. The synthesized nanoparticles are characterized using various techniques such as UV–Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, FESEM, XRD, and VSM. The study highlights the photocatalytic activity of these nanoparticles in degrading methyl green dye under sunlight, achieving up to 91.2% degradation within 150 minutes. Additionally, the larvicidal effects of the nanoparticles against the dengue vector Aedes aegypti are investigated, showing significant mortality rates at concentrations as low as 63.56 µg/mL. These findings suggest that the green-synthesized IONPs have promising applications in environmental remediation and mosquito control.
