Abstract
The present study was aimed to account a green synthesis of copper nanoparticle is by interaction of leaf extract and copper salt.
The bio-synthesis of nanoparticles put forward a cost free and eco-friendly method of nanoparticle synthesis. Copper nanoparticles
were synthesized by using aqueous solution of copper sulphate and extract of Aloe barbadensis. The prepared leaf extract was
observed when 1mM copper sulphate solution is added in it. Color change of the reaction mixture was observed from deep blue
to colorless and then to brick red and dark red indicating the formation of copper nanoparticles. The synthesized CuO NPs was
characterized by using different technique such as UV, IR, XRD, and SEM. ward a cost-free and environmentally suitable method
of nanoparticle synthesis. Synthesized CuO nanoparticles with average particle size of 60n. Shape of copper nanoparticles was
spherical and cubic and their range was 80-120nm Different functional group in synthesized nanoparticles are examined by FTIR.
UV spectrophotometer confirm peak of copper nanoparticle experiments Copper oxide nanoparticles shows maximum absorbance
at 272nm. Catalytic activity of synthesized nano particles is also examined on the degradation of malachite green. This catalytic
effect of copper oxide nanoparticles can be contributed to its small size.
