Green Crystallization and Characterization of Copper Oxide (CuO) Nanoparticles Using Anacardium occidentale Shell Liquid and their Biomedical Applications

Abstract:

For the first time, we describe the production of nanocrystalline CuO particles using cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). The effects of CSNL dosage, reaction duration, and concentrations on copper reduction and nanoparticle formation were studied. The resulting nanoparticles were characterized using TEM, XRD and FTIR analysis. The syntheses of nano-sized CuO NPs were confirmed via TEM and XRD and show the presence of well-dispersed CuO NPs ranging from 15 to 20 nm. The results confirm that CuO nanocrystals have high antibacterial efficacy and hence have great potential in the preparation of drugs against bacteria.
