Copper oxide nanoparticles within hollow mesoporous silica spheres were prepared by binding/adsorbing Cu2+ or [Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2]2+ ions on the surface of carbon spheres, followed by formation of a mesoporous silica shell by sol-gel processing and calcination in air. The CuO nanoparticles can subsequently be converted into Cu3N nanoparticles by nitridation with ammonia. The effect of the different...

Recent developments in the synthesis of CuO nanoparticles (NPs) and their application to the [3+2] cycloaddition of azides with terminal alkynes are reviewed. With respect to the importance of click chemistry, CuO hollow NPs, CuO hollow NPs on acetylene black, water-soluble double-hydrophilic block copolymer (DHBC) nanoreactors and ZnO–CuO hybrid NPs were synthesized. Non-conventional ene...

Engineered nanoparticles are becoming increasingly incorporated into technology and consumer products. In 2014, over 300 tons of copper oxide nanoparticles were manufactured in the United States. The increased production of nanoparticles raises concerns regarding the potential introduction into the environment or human exposure. Copper oxide nanoparticles commonly release copper ions into solut...

In the present work, copper oxide nanoparticles have been fabricated by using a biological method. Copper (CuO NPs) received more attention than other metal oxides due to their distinctive properties and applications. Plant-mediated synthesis of has gained researchers because its simple ecologically sustainable approach. The biosynthesis CuO NPs included use Passiflora edulis leaf extract that ...

Lung exposure to metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) comprising soluble metal haptens may produce T-helper cell type 1 (Th1)- and Th17-associated delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). In order to study this, haptenic metal oxide NPs (NiO, Co(3)O(4), Cr(2)O(3) and CuO) were instilled into the lungs of female Wistar rats, and the immunoinflammatory re...

Recent nanotechnological advances suggest that metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have been expected to be used in various fields, ranging from catalysis and opto-electronic materials to sensors, environmental remediation, and biomedicine. However, the growing use of NPs has led to their release into environment and the toxicity of metal oxide NPs on organisms has become a concern to both the publ...

We report the synthesis of medicinal plant, Vernonia amygdalina Del. mediated green copper oxide nanoparticles (VeA-CuO NPs). The presence two absorbance maxima, λmax 1 and 2 at 436 nm 452 nm, respectively confirms a mixture biomolecules surface amalgamated CuO NPs with different morphological features. FT-IR spectra plant leaf extract VeA-CuO confirmed efficient role as capping stabilising age...

We report the green chemistry reduction approach method for synthesis of Manganese Oxide nanoparticles (MnO NPs), Copper (CuO NPs) and Manganese-doped (Mn-doped CuO Nps). Aqueous extract from seeds was used as reducing capping agents. The detailed crystal structure analysis investigated; crystallite size, crystallinity, morphological index, x-ray density, bulk specific surface area, porosity, L...

Metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are reported to impact plant growth in hydroponic systems. This study describes the impact of commercial CuO (\50 nm) and ZnO (\100 nm) NPs on wheat (Triticum aestivum) grown in a solid matrix, sand. The NPs contained both metallic and non-metallic impurities to different extents. Dynamic light scattering and atomic force microscopy (AFM) assessments confirmed ag...
