Saraca indica as reducing agent for synthesis of modified copper oxide nanoparticles at low temperatures using green synthesis method

Copper Oxide (CuO) being one of the transition metal oxide has an unfathomable number applications such as photoconductive functionalities, industrial and medical applications. The current study aims at synthesis CuO nanoparticles with use Saraca Indica (Ashoka) leaf extract, which acts a reducing agent. experimental conditions were optimized for nano-range particles. obtained have been characterized using various analytical techniques SEM, FTIR, XRD. Scanning Electron Microscope images revealed that are in petal like shaped structures, having average crystallite size of~ 14 nm. XRD graph confirmed monoclinic structure preferred Morphology Index. FTIR plot further presence Cu-O bonding slight modifications functional groups. different properties dimensions can be prepared help concentrations salts. This work provides simple, environmental friendly, tailor made cost effective way synthesizing Green method.
