Abstract
The fast development of nanomaterials in the quest for green, eco-friendly routes for new products often culminates in the utilization plant biomasses for the synthesis of sustainable nanoparticles. In this study, an eco-friendly, and cost-effective method has been established for the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) using sweet lime peel extract. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The CuONPs formed were almost agglomerated spherical in shape with a discrete rough appearance. The particle sizes measured from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) ranged from 90-175 nm. The results revealed the cost effective, time saving, renewable, green and sustainable route for CuONPs to be formed. This may open a new avenue of methods to reuse sweet lime peels.
