Green chemistry method prepared effective copper nanoparticles by lemon flower (citrus) extract and its anti-microbial activity

Green chemistry method is a toxic less Development of metal nanoparticle towards eco-friendly biosynthesis process for various applications. In the present investigation, we fabricated the Copper Nanoparticles using a lemon plant and its family name RUTACEAE). Copper sulphate (CuSO4) was used as precursor for the formation of copper Nanoparticles by using flower extract of lemon. The physico chemical characterization of copper nanoparticle were analysed by XRD, SEM and DRS study. The SEM results show that the copper Nanoparticles are aggregated cross rectangle/spherical shape morphology. The optical characterization was carried out using UV - Vis analysis. The results are showed that the optimum concentration of flower extract is important for the synthesis of copper nanoparticles. The as prepared Copper nanoparticle have the efficient ability to inhibit the growth of various pathogenic microorganisms.

Automated summary

In this study, copper nanoparticles with efficient inhibitory abilities against microorganisms were successfully synthesized using a green chemistry method by utilizing lemon plant extract.
