Abstract:Biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly technology. In the present study, copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were synthesized using white tea leaf extracts. They were then characterized for their chemical structure and evaluated ability for the methylene blue (MB) degradation in the adsorption system with H2O2. XRD and FTIR analyses revealed that the CuNPs were present as an amorphous phase, with the O-H polyphenol compound bound to the Cu ion. The XPS deconvolution indic… Show more
