Abstract
Green syntheses of nanomaterials aim at implementing reliable protocols and mitigate generated waste. In recent years, green approaches using facile and safer reaction conditions and nonnoxious precursors have been emphasized in the improvement of nanotechnology for promoting ecosystem sustainability. This research area needs synthetic strategies to be more energy saving and environmentally benevolent. In this chapter, we have reviewed green syntheses of cuprous oxide nanoparticles using plant extracts. Different protocols for their syntheses and environmental applications were addressed. Among multifarious diverse potential applications of the synthesized cuprous oxide nanoparticles, we focused on their use for antimicrobial and photocatalytic application.
