Abstract

Abstract A simple preparation, less time-consuming and cost-effective of Cu2O nanoparticles is a p-type of semiconducting material and the band gap is (2.15 eV), the various particular shapes were prepared by different methods, an eco-friendly, gentle and low cost synthetic method natural green method has been developed to cuprous oxide Nanoparticles (Cu2O NPs) and Cu2O NPs synthesized by using benign natural green root such as guava fruit juice and Fehling’s solution. The fabrication of octahedral shape of Cu2O NPs was described by a natural green and simple chemical precipitation method in this study. The structural and morphology of the Cu2O nanoparticles was studied using X-ray Diffraction analysis (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy image (FE-SEM), Diffused Reflectance Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy (DRS UV-Vis) the functional group conformation of Cu2O nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The morphology of Cu2O nanoparticles looks like octahedral shape. The XRD revealed the structure of crystalline of the Cu2O nanoparticles. The Cu2Ophotocatalysis has been demonstrated to be an efficient photocatalyst towards methylene blue dye solutions.
