Overview

The study demonstrates the synthesis of copper-based nanomaterials in Moringa oleifera, suggesting sustainable applications in biology and the environment.

Key Points

  • The research aims to explore eco-friendly methods for synthesizing copper-based nanomaterials using Moringa oleifera.
  • Utilized aqueous extracts from Moringa oleifera leaves, seeds, and stem bark for synthesis.
  • Characterized the materials using XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and TEM.
  • Tested the synthesized materials for antimicrobial, antioxidant, and EBT degradation activities.
  • Measured concentrations of total phenols, flavonoids, and tannins in Moringa oleifera parts.
  • Characterization revealed a mixed phase of crystalline cuprous oxide and amorphous copper.
  • Amorphous copper oxide from leaf extract showed higher antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
  • Achieved 40% degradation of EBT with amorphous copper oxide.
  • Crystalline copper exhibited lower activity compared to the amorphous form.
