GREEN SYNTHESIS OF COPPER NANOPARTICLES FROM MYRTUS COMMUNIS LEAVES EXTRACT: CHARACTERIZATTION, ANTIOXIDANT AND CATALYTIC ACTIVITY

A simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method for making green nanoparticles has been developed. The current study examines the use of M. communis leaves extract in biosynthesis copper (CuNPs). color change UV-visible spectrophotometer, which showed a distinct peak at 481nm, confirmed formation these particles. Different techniques were used to characterize nanoparticles. influential functional groups that can bio-reduce ion Cu2+ identified using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. crystal structure was determined X-ray diffraction (XRD), as evidenced by peaks 2θ values 43.35, 50.50, 74.21. In transmission electron microscopy (TEM), particles have spherical morphology with an average diameter 35–75 nm, while scanning (SEM) reveals sphere-like shape CuNPs. Copper-NPs synthesized this tested antioxidant catalytic substances. CuNPs had superior radical scavenging activity when compared from Myrtus leaves. It is common 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) model reaction evaluate nanomaterials' properties. borohydride (BH) found bind surface CuNPs, indicating it adsorbent. As BH concentration increased, we observed blue shift plasmon resonance (SPR) These shifts increase direct proportion concentration, does 4-NP 4-amino phenol (4-AP) conversion. Accordingly, better than higher concentrations.
