| description | The main goal of this research was to use an environmentally friendly, simple, and sustainable method to produce sulfur nanoparticles using the aqueous extract of Ziziphus-spina tree leaves and hydrochloric acid. The prepared sulfur nanoparticles were characterized using various techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). XRD results showed that their average diameter was 9.26 nm and the sulfur nanoparticles were well-crystalline and highly pure. SEM images revealed the formation of spherical particles. FT-IR analysis showed a sharp peak for sulfur nanoparticles at 460 cm-1, indicating that their surface contained a new chemical bond. This shows that the carbonyl residue of amino acids found in the material extracted from the Ziziphus spina tree may be a means for linking it to sulfur molecules. This extract acts as a stabilizer for the synthesized sulfur nanoparticles. The antibacterial activity of the prepared SNPs was tested against 2 species each of gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia) bacteria using the agar well diffusion method. The results show that the SNPs have antibacterial activity |
