Bacterial mediated synthesis and characterization of copper oxide nanoparticles and their antimicrobial and dye remediation applications

Abstract

The globe is currently dealing with serious issues related to health and water pollution. Some frequent sources of water contamination are municipal sewage systems and industrial water.This study examined the antibacterial capabilities of CuO NPs made using a green approach, as well as their impact on polluted water. Because of their many uses and unique qualities, copper oxide nanoparticles, or CuO NPs, have garnered a lot of interest in a variety of sectors, including biomedical sciences and nanomedicine. There are several ways to create copper oxide nanoparticles, including chemical, physical, and biological techniques. The physicochemical methods use a lot of energy, are costly, and discharge a lot of hazardous chemicals into the environment. Conversely, the biological approach offers a simple, comfortable, economical, dependable, and environmentally beneficial means of producing copper oxide nanoparticles. Systematic analysis with UV-Vis, FTIR, XRD and Antimicrobial study validated the synthesis of Copper oxide nanoparticles. The bio mediated synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles is examined in this review, along with their medicinal uses, which include antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral.
