What is it about?
In this paper we have developed a rapid green methods for synthesis of bismuth trioxide nano-needles. Bismuth and its oxide have been are stated safe, so that they can be effectively used in the field of medicine. The traditional methods used for synthesis of Bi2O3 nanostructures was synthesised using harmful chemicals and at high pressure and temperature. So for use of bismuth in medicine we have synthesised it by a Dioscoreal alata tuber extract. The synthesised Bi2O3 nano-needles were evaluated for its antifungal activity which shows excellent results. Thus this novel process is efficient for production of Bi2O3 nano-needles.

Why is it important?
The antifungal drugs which are available in market are being resistant to most of the pathogenic fungus, therefore there is need for a new broad spectrum drug which is efficient and cost effective. In our work we have found remarkable activity of bismuth trioxide nano-needles, which makes it a potent antifungal agent.
Perspectives
The perspective behind this project is to develop a process for synthesis of Bi2O3 which will overcome the drawbacks of the traditional process. To check the antifungal activity of synthesised nano-needles.
