Abstract
New biomedical applications touching all areas of life are emerging worldwide. Novel preparation methods are being used for obtaining different type of nanostructures. Owing to their importance from the application point of view, Y2O3 nanorods were synthesized to study the effect of plant extracts on the metal ion formation. Such kinds of nanorod arrays are very much useful for biomedical applications. The cubic Y2O3 was verified by the X-ray diffraction analysis. The transition cluster form (5)d(4) -> F-7(5) was confirmed via photoluminescence study, which is most responsible for the affirmation of Y2O3. Formation of Y2O3 nanorods was evident from the transmission electron microscopy images. The cell viability was evaluated. Graph pad prism 5 software was used to conduct the cytotoxicity analysis. The noncytotoxic nature of the nanorods for breast cancer cell was clearly visible in the cell cytoplasm.
