Green synthesis, characterization of copper nanoparticle synthesis from the leaf extract of Aegle marmelos and their biological activities

Abstract

Abstract Over the past few decades, the development of nanomaterial applications in numerous fields has been known to be significantly aided by green methods for the manufacture of metallic and metallic oxide nanoparticles. In comparison to several current physical and chemical approaches, the green production of copper and copper oxide nanoparticles (Cu and CuO, NPs) proved more practical and cost-effective. Applications for green-fabricated Cu and CuO Nanoparticles include energy, biomedicine, pharmaceutics, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, organic dye degradation, and cosmetics. The bioactive elements of the plant extracts and the preparation circumstances have a significant impact on the shape and topology of biologically active Nanoparticles. The goal of the current review is to raise awareness of the numerous plants used in the biologically active manufacture of copper and its oxide nanoparticles (NPs) for use in catalysis and biological activity testing like Antimicrobial, antioxidant and anticancer. It has also been studied how to characterise biogenic copper nanoparticles for their chemical, morphological, and topographical properties using various analytical methods.
