Abstract
Green chemistry method is a toxic less Development of metal nanoparticle towards ecofriendly biosynthesis process for various applications. In the present investigation, we fabricated the Copper Nanoparticles using a lemon plant and its family name RUTACEAE). Copper sulphate (CuSO4) was used as precursor for the formation of copper Nanoparticles by using flower extract of lemon. The physico chemical characterization of copper nanoparticle were analysed by XRD, SEM and DRS study. The SEM results show that the copper Nanoparticles are aggregated cross rectangle/spherical shape morphology. The optical characterization was carried out using UV – Vis analysis. The results are showed that the optimum concentration of flower extract is important for the synthesis of copper nanoparticles. The as prepared Copper nanoparticle have the efficient ability to inhibit the growth of various pathogenic microorganisms.
Highlights
Fabrication of Nanoparticles from natural resources is the field of growing interest among scientist and researchers
We have continuously monitored the formation of copper nanoparticle form from the lemon flower extract by UV-Visible spectrometer
The present study reported the lemon flower extract route prepared copper nanoparticle for eco friendly catalytic and antimicrobial applications
Summary
Fabrication of Nanoparticles from natural resources is the field of growing interest among scientist and researchers. The nanoparticle such as silver and gold particle produced by herbal extrct and other toxin free solvents have developed as potential candidate for green chemistry and biomedical industries. Copper NPs increase of copper ion in the oxidation state balance of the redox pair could produce the reactive oxygen species and further induces cell death. Various studies reported the toxicity behavior of copper-based NPs. Toxicity characteristics of copper nanoparticle are due to partially by dissolution ability in the respective aqueous medium [2-4]. Copper oxide CuO NPs are more stable than Ag0 and Cu0 NPs, which are sensitive to atmospheric oxygen and sunlight. The structural morphology characterization and antimicrobial efficiency have been explained
