An eco-friendly and low cost protocol for synthesis of copper nano
particles is developed by means of root extract of Curculigo
Orchioides (Common name Kali Musli, Family Hypoxidaceae) as the
reducing and stabilizing agent. The aqueous copper ions, exposed to
Curculigo Orchioides extract were reduced and in due course turned
into copper nanoparticles with the size range of 50 - 80 nm. The green
synthesized copper nanoparticles were characterized by UV-VIS, and
X-ray diffraction analyses. A probable mechanism for synthesis of
copper nanoparticles by the root extract of CurculigoOrchioides is
also predicted.
The morphology of the particles was confirmed by transmission
microscopy (TEM) in the range of 50 - 80nm. The biosynthesized
nanoparticles have shown good antimicrobial activity. The present
approach is simple, rapid and environmentally benign and may serve
to be suitable for large scale commercial production of copper
nanoparticles.
