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. Not Available |
