Abstract:The green synthesis of nanoparticles utilizing an aqueous plant extract as a capping and stabilizing agent has attracted significant attention across diverse fields, particularly in pharmaceuticals and drug delivery. In this investigation, Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate (CuSO4.5H2O) salt served as a precursor for synthesizing copper nanoparticles at pH 4-5 and pH 8, employing Psidium guajava (leaves and fruits) extract for characterization. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy revealed four major functi… Show more
