The present study reported biofabrication of flower-like SnO2 nanoparticles using Pometia pinnata leaf extract. The study focused on the physicochemical characteristics of the prepared SnO2 nanoparticles and its activity as photocatalyst and antibacterial agent. The characterization was performed by XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-DRS and XPS analyses. Photocatalytic activity of the nanoparticles was examined on bromophenol blue photooxidation; meanwhile, the antibacterial activity was evaluated against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. XRD and XPS analyses confirmed the single tetragonal SnO2 phase. The result from SEM analysis indicates the flower like morphology of SnO2 nanoparticles, and by TEM analysis, the nanoparticles were seen to be in uniform spherical shapes with a diameter ranging from 8 to 20 nm. SnO2 nanoparticles showed significant photocatalytic activity in photooxidation of bromophenol blue as the degradation efficiency reached 99.93%, and the photocatalyst exhibited the reusability as the degradation efficiency values were insignificantly changed until the fifth cycle. Antibacterial assay indicated that the synthesized SnO2 nanoparticles exhibit an inhibition of tested bacteria and showed a potential to be applied for further environmental and medical applications.
