Abstract: Iron oxide nanoparticles, one of the metal oxide nanoparticles have different forms and properties. In recent years, iron oxide nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized from various plant species using green synthesis pathways and have been analysed for different biological properties. In this study, iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using an unconventional, eco - friendly and completely non - hazardous technique using Albiziaamara leaf extract as a reducer and stabilizing agent. The synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles were characterized using the Ultraviolet - visible spectrometer (UV - Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT - IR), X - ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X - ray (EDX), and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In addition, the antioxidant activity of the product was analysed and it was recorded that the nanoparticle has remarkable antioxidant activity.
