Abstract
Metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are receiving significant consideration for possible applications in optoelectronics, nano devices, nano sensors, information storage and nano electronics. The aim of the study is to investigate the preparation and characterization of CuONPs using extract of Sarcostemma acidum. Sarcostemma acidum extract has been found to be suitable for the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles through green method. Spherical, polydispersity of CuONPs of particle sizes ranging from 32 – 82nm are obtained. Changes of color occur due to surface plasmon resonance during the reaction with the ingredients present in the extract of Sarcostemma acidum extract, resulting in the formation of CuO nanoparticles. It is confirmed by FT-IR, UV–Visible spectroscopy and SEM analysis. FT-IR spectroscopic study confirm that the phenol, alcohol, alkynes and aromatics feature a strong binding ability with oxide, suggesting the formation of a layer covering oxide nanoparticles and acting as a capping agent to stop agglomeration and supply stability to the medium. The possible biomolecule like phenol, alcohol, alkynes and aromatics are responsible for the bio reduction process.
