dc.description.abstractCuO nanoparticles were prepared by combustion synthesis method using Trigonellafoenumgraecum (Fenugreek) plant extract. Cupric nitrate was dissolved in plant extract and stirred continuously for fifteen minutes by using magnetic stirrer. Small amount of sodium hydroxide solution was added drop wise under constant stirring. Precipitates of CuO was obtained within 2 to 3 minutes. Precipitates were filtered and washed 2 to 3 times in order to obtain pure nanoparticles. Obtained CuO nanoparticles were dried and annealed at 350⁰C temperature for half hour. Prepared nanoparticles were characterized using X-ray diffraction photometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy dispersive X-rays (EDX). Obtained CuO nanoparticles were analyzed for their affective anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant and dye-degradation activities. Synthesized nanoparticles were found to have potent activity against different bacterial strains. These nanoparticles can be used as antioxidant for many industrial and pharmacological applications. Harmful dyes were easily degraded using these nanoparticles. Hence, this eco-friendly green route can be further used for other industrially important applications.en_US
