Background Biosynthesized copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) are eco-friendly, cost-effective, and biocompatible agents reported for extensive biomedical bioengineering applications. Different chemical synthesis approaches have been established recently, with challenges of higher toxicity high cost involved in the process. Green synthesized emerged was extensively to address faced by traditional proc...

We demonstrate aqueous phase biosynthesis of phase-pure metallic copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) using a silver resistant bacterium Morganella morganii. This is particularly important considering that there has been no report that demonstrates biosynthesis and stabilization of pure copper nanoparticles in the aqueous phase. Electrochemical analysis of bacterial cells exposed to Cu(2+) ions provide...

A new, simple and sensitive fluorescence strategy was developed for the trypsin assay based on copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) and its different fluorescence response toward trypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of cytochrome c (Cyt c). Polythymine (poly T)-templated CuNPs served as effective fluorescent probes. Cyt c is well-known to act as a quencher. However, herein, a low concentration of Cyt c was des...

We report an ecofriendly novel method for copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) synthesis by hydrothermal processes using an activated carboxymethyl gum of locally available medicinal plant Cochlospermum gossypiumas capping agent. The synthesized CuNPs characterized by Ultraviolet - visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier – transform infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Transmission Electron Micros...

This work describes the formation of reduced graphene oxide-coated copper oxide and copper nanoparticles (rGO-Cu2ONPs, rGO-CuNPs) on the surface of a copper foil supporting graphene oxide (GO) at annealing temperatures of 200-1000 °C, under an Ar atmosphere. These hybrid nanostructures were developed from bare copper oxide nanoparticles which grew at an annealing temperature of 80 °C under nitr...

Antimicrobial copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were electrosynthetized and applied to the controlled impregnation of industrial polyurethane foams used as padding in the textile production or as filters for air conditioning systems. CuNP-modified materials were investigated and characterized morphologically and spectroscopically, by means of Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and X-ray Photoel...

A rapid prototyping of an inexpensive, disposable graphene and copper nanocomposite sensor strip using polymeric flexible substrate for highly sensitive and selective nonenzymatic glucose detection has been developed and tested for direct oxidization of glucose. The CuNPs were electrochemically deposited on to the graphene sheets to improve electron transfer rates and to enhance electrocatalyti...

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. influe...

A one-pot protocol for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles has been developed starting from inactivated alkenes and based on two click reactions: the azidosulfenylation of the carbon-carbon double bond and the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). High yields of the β-methylsulfanyl triazoles have been attained using CuNPs/C as catalyst, with other commercial copper catalysts being ...
