摘要

Copper oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have a potential multifunctional role as a catalyst, conductive ink or cooling fluid, antibacterial property and behaviours of a p-type semiconductor. The current research deals with the environmentally friendly, low cost, synthesis and tailoring of copper nanostructures (NSs) by the sono-biochemical method using Moringa oleifera seed extract. The prepared Cu2O NSs were initially confirmed by UV-visible (UV-Vis) characteristics spectra which have a strong peak at 461 nm and a small hump at 558 nm obtained by a spectrophotometer. The crystalline size of Cu2O (15.27 nm) as determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and microstructure appeared as nanoflowers, confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The presence of a functional group was confirmed on NSs by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). The bactericidal efficacy of the prepared material was tested by the disc diffusion method, at the concentration of 50 ppm, with zones of inhibition of 10 mm, 8 mm and 16 mm against E. coli, S. typhi, and S. aureus respectively. Furthermore, significant antioxidant activity was performed and observed half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) = 70.1 ± 2.3 µg/ml which is attributed to their ability to scavenge free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. Finally, the current research evolves a unique environmentally benign method for developing multifunctional Cu2O nanostructures.
