Abstract
In this study, stable copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) were biogenically prepared using a bulb of Allium sativum extract (as reducing and capping agents) in a surfactant-free environment. A successful synthesis of CuO-NPs and factors affecting chemical reaction at a specific time, temperature, pH, and salt concentration was monitored by the UV-VIS technique. The characterization analysis like UV-VIS and FTIR suggested CuO-NPs were monodispersed, pure, and highly stable. CuO-NPs displayed outstanding photocatalytic results (95% within 50 min) for decolorization of methylene blue dye.
