MgO nanoparticles have been synthesized by a simple and ecofriendly route using thermal treatment method. The synthesized MgO NPs have been subjected to detailed characterization using various analytical techniques. The XRD pattern confirms the crystal structure of MgO which is composed of cubic phase. The FTIR spectrum gave another manifest for the presence of Mg–O bonding at ۴۷۷ cm−۱.The surface structure, morphology and particle size have been studied using FESEM which show the MgO NPs are in agglomerated form, almost spherical in shape and average size is about ۴۰–۵۰ nm.
