Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles are continuously drawing researcher’s attention because of their unique electronic and physicochemical properties in the field of catalysis, drug delivery and energy harvesting applications. The green synthesis of iron oxide magnetic micro/nano one dimensional structures (Fe2O3) using Black tea as a reducing agent was conducted in this report. The cotton was used as a template to obtain needle like structures as characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Finally the synthesized iron oxide structures showed good photocatalytic activity under solar illumination in the degradation of Methylene Blue dye.
