PREPARATION OF GREEN COPPER OXIDE NANOPARTICLES USING ROSEMARY PLANT EXTRACT
Abstract
The use of nanoparticles, represents one of the most significant advancements in modern science and technology, capturing the interest of researchers and engineers alike. Plant is an intriguing natural source for producing nanoparticles, as some species contain substances that facilitate the formation of these particles naturally. For instance, certain plants exhibit numerous biologically active compounds such as flavonoids and tannins, which can be utilized as nanomaterials. The process of extracting plant materials and converting them into nanoparticles is carried out using advanced preparation techniques biotechnological method. The advantage of this approach is that it provides an environmentally friendly means to produce nanoparticles effectively and reliably. In this work, the aqueous solution of Rosemary leaves extract has been used as a reducing and capping agent to prepare CuO- NPs. After preparation and purification, CuO-NPs have characterized using UV-VIS spectroscopy, FTIR and XRD. Anti- bacterial activity for these nanoparticles have been investigated.
