- Abstract
Copper oxide nanoparticles manifest a greater attention due to their excellent catalytic properties. The chemical synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles is highly toxic and risky and may lead to polluting the environment. The other methods for the synthesis of nanoparticles are expensive and hazardous to the nature. The environmentally friendly method or green synthesis of copper oxide with plant products has been used as a reducing agent. In this research, the flower extract of Musa paradisiaca was used to reduce the copper oxide from the precursors via the green reduction. The optical characterization of the biosynthesized copper oxide nanoparticles was done by an ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometer showing the presence of copper oxide. The UV–visible peak was ∼250 nm for the synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles. The Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy was performed to find the functional groups present in the sample. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy was carried out to confirm the crystalline nature. The morphology of the synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles was analyzed using transmission electron microscopy along with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The potential application of the produced nanoparticle in photocatalytic dye degradation of Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 dye was demonstrated.
