Abstract
Green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles has received increasing attention due to the development of eco-friendly technologies in material science. Use of plant extracts in the preparation of nanoparticles by greener route provides advancement over chemical and physical methods as it is cost effective and environmental friendly. In the present work, copper nanoparticles have been amalgamated with simple and green route by using Lawsonia inermis leaf juice. The amalgamated copper nanoparticles were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM and EDAX. The optical characterization was carried out using UV–Vis spectrophotometer. The antibacterial activity of copper nanoparticles was studied against disease causing five bacterial pathogen like Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The antifungal activity of copper nanoparticles was studied against Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans. The photocatalytic activity of amalgamated copper nanoparticles was tested against metanil yellow. The synthesized copper nanoparticles can be used for various applications due to its eco-friendly and non-toxic nature.
