Sumario:In this study, a simple, rapid, and eco-friendly green method was introduced to synthesize magnetite nanoparticles (Fe(3)O(4)-NPs) successfully. Seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii (K. alvarezii) was employed as a green reducing and stabilizing agents. The synthesized Fe(3)O(4)-NPs were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The X-ray diffraction planes at (220), (311), (400), (422), (511), (440), and (533) were corresponding to the standard Fe(3)O(4) patterns, which showed the high purity and crystallinity of Fe(3)O(4)-NPs had been synthesized. Based on FT-IR analysis, two characteristic absorption peaks were observed at 556 and 423 cm(−1), which proved the existence of Fe(3)O(4) in the prepared nanoparticles. TEM image displayed the synthesized Fe(3)O(4)-NPs were mostly in spherical shape with an average size of 14.7 nm.
