Although much research has been placed on the bio-based materials for the synthesis of the nanoparticles, there is a need to explore different perspectives and in detail process conditions with characterizations. This study dealt with the synthesis of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles using an environmentally friendly technique by aqueous ferric chloride hexa-hydrate and ferrous chloride tetra hydrate with 2/1 molar ratio and sodium hydroxide using leaf water extracts, which act as an efficient stabilizer and capping agent simultaneously. For this purpose, the leaves of Platanus Orientalis L. plant were used. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that this plant was used to synthesize the magnetite nanoparticles. One of the most important techniques to understand the hydrodynamic radius on an ensemble average size of the nanoparticles is zetasizer technique. It was demonstrated that the size of the synthesized nanoparticles was around 34.72 ± 6.77 nm. In addition, several complementary analytical techniques were employed to characterize the magnetite nanoparticles including zeta potential measurements, TEM, UV-Vis, FTIR, TGA, and XRD methods.
