Abstract

The present study reported an eco-friendly, cost-effective and simple method for the synthesis of phytoreduced copper oxide nanoparticles using Murraya koenigii leaf extract. The synthesized CuO NPs wear confirmed by the electronic spectroscopy and morphological verification by XRD, FT-IR, EDS, UV–Vis, SEM, and TEM. The surface plasmon resonance peak at 320 nm in UV–VIS spectrum which favours phytochemically reduction of CuO NPs. While results of TEM observed average particles size 40–50 nm. Furthermore, antibacterial activity of synthesized CuO NPs was tested against E.coli, K. pneumoniae, S. aureus, and E. faecalis. These results showed effective antibacterial activity against K. pneumoniae and E. faecalis.
