These nanoparticles were synthesised under carefully controlled conditions, the plant extract performing both the reduction and stabilization roles. Characterizations of the physicochemical properties of the synthesized nanoparticles were undertaken using a range of techniques. The antimicrobial effects of the substance were demonstrated by assessing its antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis using the disk diffusion method. The photocatalytic activity was assessed by examining the degradation of organic dyes such as methylene blue, methyl red, and methyl orange under UV illumination. The findings suggested a promising level of photocatalytic efficiency, with uses in environmental cleanup efforts. Analysis indicates the capability of Iron nanoparticles derived from Dieffenbachia camilla as a material with diverse uses is showing potential for use in future biomedical, environmental, and industrial fields.
