The current study compared the synthesis, characterization and properties of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO) based on green and traditional chemical methods. The synthesized CuO were confirmed by spectroscopic and morphological characterization such as ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, zeta potential, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersed X-ray (EDX). Electrochemical behavior of the modified electrodes was done using cyclic voltammetry (CV) in ferricyanide/ferrocyanide ([Fe(CN)6]4−/[Fe(CN)6]3−) redox probe. As revealed by UV spectrophotometer, the absorption peaks ranged from 290–293 nm for all synthesized nanoparticles. Based on SEM images, CuO were spherical in shape with agglomerated particles. Zeta potential revealed that the green CuO have more negative surface charge than the chemically synthesized CuO. The potential of the green synthesized nanoparticles was higher relative to the chemically synthesized one. Cyclic voltammetry studies indicated that the traditional chemically synthesized CuO and the green CuO have electrocatalytic activity towards the ferricyanide redox probe. This suggests that the green CuO can be modified with other nanomaterials for the preparation of electrochemical sensors towards analytes of interest.

This research is based on the creation of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) hydrogel through in situ method. The effective UV-Vis spectroscopy absorption peak of 610 nm indicates the existence of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NP) group because of surface Plasmon resonance (SPR). Characterization of CuO-NPs was carried out by SEM, TEM, EDX, and XRD. However, the action of prepared nanocomposite hydrogels swelling was examined at different pH and saline solutions. In addition, CuO-NPs were also tested using the disk plate diffusion method by means of adverse effect of bacteria Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis) as well as Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli). The CuO-NPs hydrogels isolated from lab-made CMC (made from sugarcane bagasse) indicates that the Bacillus subtilis as well as Escherichia coli have greater antibacterial activity compared with synthetic CMC purchase from the market. CuO-NPs can be used effectively in biomedical applications with the production of hydrogels.

Nanoparticles of metal and metallic oxides have become a very active research area in the field of material chemistry. The surface effect is mainly responsible for deviation of the properties of nano-materials from that of the bulk. Nanosize copper oxide was synthesized by hydrolysis of copper salts in basic medium using biodegradable non-ionic polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG) as surface active agent The X-ray powder diffraction patterns (XRD) present typical peaks of copper oxides formed. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images determined the shape and the nanosizes of the particles of about 10-30nm. The results exhibited the role of intermediate nanosize copper hydroxide species on the formation of copper oxide nanoparticles. The influence of synthesis temperature, reaction time, calcination temperature, etc. was studied.

Biosynthesized nanoparticles have a huge perspective. It is an environment-friendly, cost-efficient, reproducible, and energy-efficient method compared to physical or chemical synthesis. In the present study, biosynthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONP) was done using Purpureocillium lilacinum. Characterization of synthesized CuONP was done by using UV–vis spectroscopy, TEM, and XRD analysis. UV–vis gave characteristic SPR peak for CuONP at 360 nm. TEM image reveals that the morphology of biosynthesized CuONP was spherical, and their size range between 4.03nm to 8.83nm. The XRD analysis confirmed the crystalline nature of CuO with a size range of 6-26.6nm. Further comparative study of photocatalytic degradation of navy blue and safranin using CuONP was done. CuO-NPs exhibited potential catalytic activity in navy blue (57.5 %) and safranin (63 %), respectively.

Abstract Biosynthesis methods, employing microorganisms, have emerged as an eco-friendly, clean and viable alternative to chemical and physical methods. The present study reports the biosynthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) using cell-free culture supernatant of marine Streptomyces sp. MHM38. For the optimized production of copper oxide nanoparticles, the influence of some parameters such as concentration of copper sulphate, reaction time, filtrate to substrate ratio and pH were studied. 5mM CuSO4 was optimal for NP production. Well-defined CuONP formation occurred after 60 min incubation when equal volume of filtrate (cell-free supernatant) to substrate (CuSO4 solution) was added. NPs remained stable in aqueous solution with increasing time at pH 8. CuONPs were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and finally the nature of the nanoparticles was identified by elemental analysis (EDX). Uv-vis spectroscopy of CuONPs exhibited peak at 550 nm which corresponds to the Surface Plasmon Resonance of CuONPs. Most of the particles are spherical in shape and size ranges from 1.06 – 6.5 nm analyzed using Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). Antimicrobial activity of CuONPs was performed by well diffusion method against Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027, Escherichia coli ATCC 8939), fungi (Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium solani, Aspergillus niger) and yeast (Candida albicans ATCC 10237) .The highest antimicrobial activities recorded were against Candida albicans ATCC 10237, were as Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028 and Escherichia coli ATCC 8939 showed the lesser activity. The preventive efficacy of CuONPs was evaluated against the oxidative stress induced by paracetamol (PAC) in albino rats. The biochemical findings of CuONPs groups appeared a significant (p˂0.05) diminish in the levels of ALT, AST, ALP, LDH, total and direct bilirubin, Urea, and Creatinine as compared to paracetamol group. Non-enzymatic and enzymatic antioxidants of CuONPs groups were significantly elevated (p˂0.05) in SOD and GSH levels and significantly low NO and MAD levels compared to the paracetamol group. Also, the histopathological examination of the CuONPs groups assured that the impact of improving CuONPs against paracetamol-induced liver damage.

Background: The Nanomaterials/Nanoparticles are of great interest today because of their small size and large surface area, modular and easily tunable morphology and size. Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles are widely used in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Research on the synthesis and properties of metallic nanomaterials is a growing field of nanotechnology due to the use of nanoparticles in the scientific, technical, pharmaceutical, and biomedical fields. Green synthesis is an emerging technology for the production of nanoparticles due to its many advantages over traditional physical processes and the method of chemical synthesis. Methods: In this study, we report the cost-effective, long-lasting, stable, and regenerative aqueous extract of Eletteria cardamom seeds to target the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs). This method is completely green, free from toxic and harmful solvents. CuO NPs were synthesized from a cupric nitrate mixture and the aqueous extracts of Eletteria cardamom seeds were kept at room temperature for 24 h. CuO NPs were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and Fourier Transfer infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) analyzes. UV - Vis spectroscopy revealed the presence of CuO NPs. Results: SEM images stated that the particles were spherical and ranged in size from 1–100nm. FTIR spectra of control (seed extract) and synthesized CuO NPs identify functional groups of active components. In addition, the synthesized CuO NPs were tested for antimicrobial activity by standard disc diffusion method. Conclusion: Nanoparticles found that Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus resistant areas were observed around each well with antimicrobial activity against disease-causing pathogenic strains.
