GREEN SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF COPPER OXIDE NANOPARTICLE Authors: Tasneem Z and Noorjahan CM*
ABSTRACT
extract of Jasminum fluminense an eco-friendly approach. The green synthesized copper
oxide nanoparticle was characterized using UV- Spectroscopy, FTIR analysis, SEM and
TEM. The results of the UV- Spectroscopy study revealed that the absorption spectra of
copper oxide nanoparticle formed in the reaction media has absorbance peak at 430nm. The
results of FTIR spectrum of copper oxide nanoparticle revealed that copper oxide
nanoparticle was surrounded by different organic molecules such as alcohols, ketones,
aldehydes, carboxylic acid etc, which act as reducing and capping agents that provide
stability to nanoparticle. The results of the SEM showed that the diameter of green
synthesized copper oxide nanoparticle ranged from 30 nm – 60 nm in diameter and the shape
was found to be in the form of spherical, cylindrical and flakes with agglomerates were also
observed. The results of TEM showed the formation of well distributed spherical and
cylindrical shapes with size ranges from 100 nm to 500 nm in magnification. Copper oxide
nanoparticle showed antimicrobial activity against microbial pathogens used in the study
except Aspergillus niger.
