An environmental friendly approach is employed to synthesize copper oxide nano particles. In the present study copper oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using plant extract of Phyllanthus amarus (kelanelli). The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using XRD, FT-IR and SEM to understand the structural and morphological characteristics of the copper oxide nanoparticles. The XRD results show that the average crystalline particle size was found to be 26.8 nm and from SEM studies it was found that these nanoparticles exist in cubic structure. CuO nanoparticles have much potential against the pathogens like Pseudomonus sp., E. coli and Trichoderma sp., etc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
