Simple Synthesis of Copper Oxide Nanoparticles in the Presence of Extractive Rosmarinus Officinalis leaves

In this work, copper oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized via extractive Rosmarinus Officinalis leaves by simple and economic co-precipitation method at ambient conditions which it has used (CH3COO)2Cu+H2O individually as Cu sources. It was found that uniform copper oxide nanoparticles have been successfully produced at various temperature, namely 400, 600, and 800 0C. Powder X-ray Diffraction analysis confirmed copper oxide nanoparticles are in monoclinic phase, which the average crystalline size estimated by using Williamson-Hall plot from the higher peak of the Powder X-ray Diffraction was about 20-30 nm for all samples. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy images depict various morphologies can be successfully prepared via controlling calcination temperature and using appropriate green extractive. The study of FT-IR patterns of CuO nanoparticles confirm the formation of highly pure CuO nanoparticles. The prepared nanoparticles were subjected to the following characterizations such as, X-ray diffraction, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared studies.
