Abstract: Nanotechnology is a rising field of science and technology that deals with the particles having size in the range of 1 to 100 nm. Copper oxide nanoparticles has many properties like antifungal activity, antibacterial activity, optical properties, conductive properties, etc. Due to its demand of diversified use, copper oxide nanoparticles were fabricated using ecofriendly and non-toxic Annona muricata stem extract. The extract with copper sulphate pentahydrate showed gradual change in the colour of the extract from brown to green which indicates the CuO nanoparticles synthesis. The fabrication is followed by characterization of CuO nanoparticles using UV-vis spectroscope, FTIR, XRD and SEM. The characterization showed roughly spherical shaped nanoparticles in the range of 100nm with high crystalline monoclinic phase. FTIR absorption spectra conclude that the compounds attached with copper oxide nanoparticles could be polyphenols with aromatic ring. The CuO nanoparticles exhibited antibacterial activity; it showed the maximum activity against E.coli (18 mm). Keywords: Annona muricata, copper sulphate pentahydrate, FTIR, nanomaterials, SEM, XRD.

The Impact

Fly ash (FA) is produced from coal power plants’ combustion. FA is used in the concrete industry, as an ingredient in the brick and paving. Knowledge of the chemical composition and toxic metal content in FA is essential for evaluating its environmental risks. This study aimed to assess FA purification effect on its antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus, by calculating percent bacterial reduction. Moreover, centrifugation time effect on the purification process was evaluated. Chemical composition and properties of purified FA were determined and compared with raw FA, using Fourier transform Infrared (FTIR); X-ray diffraction (XRD); X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS); energy-dispersive X-ray (EDXA); carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur (CHNS) elemental analysis; moisture content; and loss-of-ignition. Particle size was predicted by using dynamic laser scattering, BET and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The CHNS results showed that purified FA contains the highest carbon content (88.9%), as compared to raw FA (82.1%). The particle size distribution (PSD) of FA microspheres ranges from 48.53 ± 17.9 to 52.98 ± 19.4 µm by using SEM. PSD, using dynamic laser scattering, showed polydispersed and non-uniform size in raw FA, ranging in size from 107.1 to 1027 nm, while purified FA manifests a monodispersed size from 103.3 to 127.3 nm. FA showed the least bacterial growth reduction %, while the purified fly ash (FA2) showed the highest bacterial growth reduction %, as compared to the control bacterial broth culture without fly ash.

Different Types

In this study, we investigated the cytocompatibility of ceramic nanoparticles on different types of cells. All ceramics nanoparticles investigated in this study except Copper oxide (CuO) exhibited good cytocompatibility and cell viability (90% or more) even at 20 ppm concentration. In contrast, CuO nanoparticles caused cell inflammation, and their effect depended on their particle size. Confocal fluorescence microscopy measurements indicated that some particles had penetrated into the cells. These results indicate that except CuO nanoparticles, all other ceramic nanoparticles reported herein exhibited excellent cytocompatibility even for lung epithelial cells.

The ascendancy of a counter electrode (C.E) in a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) has an unrivaled impact on the performance of the dye-sensitized solar cell, where the Pt-based C.E has set up a phenomenal benchmark against its counterparts. Due to the high cost of such noble metals, an operative and a much cost effective replacement were greatly in demand to gratify this need. To address this issue, monoclinic lanthanum doped copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles were prepared by solution combustion and co-precipitation techniques respectively as they possess highly superior optoelectronic, catalytic and charge transfer properties. The effect of incorporating lanthanum (La) ions and the variation of synthesis technique on their structural, optical, photo-thermal and morphological properties are empirically investigated by XRD, FTIR, TEM, UV-Vis, Raman and Photoacoustic Spectroscopy (PAS). The X-ray diffraction pattern revealed the formation of La-doped CuO nanoparticles. The finger-print vibrational modes of the as-synthesized samples are confirmed by the FTIR spectra. The required optical properties of the as-synthesized nanocrystals were confirmed using UV-Vis absorption spectra, from which the bandgap was determined by Kubelka-Munk plot. The Raman modes were determined using Raman spectra, further a multi-phonon band was revealed, which was formed due to the plasmon-phonon coupling. The photothermal phenomenon was revealed using the photoacoustic spectra. The morphological investigation by TEM found the change in the morphology of the material as the synthesis route is varied. The power conversion efficiency results unveiled that the combustion-derived C.E posted a promising efficiency (η) of 0.20% and the co-precipitation derived C.E posted an efficiency of 0.02%. Overall results suggest that the combustion derived La doped CuO nanostructures exhibited substantive properties with deeper implication and also stood out to be a viable, cost-effective and self-exemplifying replacement for Pt as C.E in DSSC’s.

Objective: In the present study copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized. The antibacterial activity of CuO nanoparticles was carried out against Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans.Methods: The synthesis was carried out by coprecipitation method using copper sulfate and sodium hydroxide as precursors. The synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-vis spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX) techniques. Besides, this study determines the antibacterial activity and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of CuO nanoparticles against gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans) and gram-negative (E. coli and Proteus vulgaris) bacteria.Results: The average crystallite size of CuO nanoparticles was found to be 19 nm by X-ray diffraction. FT-IR spectrum exhibited vibrational modes at 432 cm-1, 511 cm-1 and 611 cm-1were assigned for Cu-O stretching vibration. According to UV-Vis spectrum, two bands were observed at 402 nm and 422 nm. ED’s spectrum shows only elemental copper (Cu) and oxide (O) and no other elemental impurity was observed. The antimicrobial assay revealed that Proteus vulgaris showed a maximum zone of inhibition (37 mm) at 50 mg/ml concentration of CuO nanoparticles.Conclusion: In conclusion, copper oxide is a good antibacterial agent against both gram positive and gram-negative organisms.
