Abstract

In this present investigation, CuO/Ag Nanocomposites (NCs) were prepared by one step hydrothermal green method. The Jatropha curcas leaf extract was act as the reducing as well ascapping agent for synthesis of CuO/Ag NCs. The powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies were investigated the crystal phase structure of CuO and Ag nanomaterials. The presence of oxygen vacancies and Cu interstitial defects in the synthesized material was determined by photo luminescence and Raman analysis. The CuO/Ag NCs was evidenced by TEM analysis and elemental composition of the prepared material was identified by EDAX analysis. The green synthesized CuO/Ag NCs exhibited excellent antimicrobial activity and better antioxidant DPPH free radical scavenging activity. The cytotoxicity of CuO/Ag NCs was assayed against osteoblast MC3t3-E1 and able to inhibit the cell growth by dose-dependent manner.
