The utilization of plant extracts for environmentally friendly nanoparticle synthesis has garnered significant attention from researchers due to its clean, safe, cost-efficient, and eco-conscious approach to crafting nanomaterials. In the present study, eco-friendly synthesis of iron nanoparticles by using Chlorophytum comosum leaf extract have been explored with special emphasis on its potential as Fenton-like catalyst for degrading methyl orange dye. Noticeable was almost complete disappearance of the dye's color, achieving an impressive 77% degradation efficiency within a mere 6 hours. Additionally, exploration of its antimicrobial properties revealed a potent effect against Staphylococcus aureus. This investigation highlights the straightforward green synthesis of Fe nanoparticles, showcasing their dual benefits in dye degradation and potent antibacterial action.
