Inorganic complex intermediate Co3O4 nanostructures using green ligation from natural waste resources†
Abstract
Sustainable new insights into the development of Co3O4 as a natural litigation agent via cobalt–ellagate complex formation were revealed using Nephelium lappaceum L. peel-waste resources. Suggestive cell (3T3) suffering was more obvious at 500 μg ml−1 Co3O4 dosages, with a decrease in cell viability of ∼30%. This material is a potentially suitable candidate for applications in biomedicine and sustainable materials development.
