Overview

Randomized trial evaluates photocatalytic performance in metal-doped CuO nanoparticles, suggesting effective pollution degradation and biological utility.

Key Points

  • The research aims to develop eco-friendly metal-doped CuO nanoparticles for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants and to evaluate their biological applications.
  • Fabricated Co-, Ni-, and Zn-doped CuO nanoparticles using Tecoma stans leaf extracts.
  • Characterized the nanoparticles' structures, optics, surfaces, and functionalities using physicochemical techniques.
  • Assessed photocatalytic, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, and antioxidant properties to determine effectiveness.
  • Co-CuO NPs demonstrated 96.3% degradation of paracetamol and 95% of methylene blue under optimal conditions.
  • Cytotoxicity against A549 cells had an IC₅₀ of 35.01 µg/mL after 24 hours.
  • High antimicrobial activity was observed against various bacteria, highlighting potential applications.
