Abstract

Due to its eco-friendly and sustainable character, the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles utilising biological resources has attracted a lot of attention recently. In order to give a general overview of the biological production of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs), Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) is used as a reducing and stabilising agent in this literature study. The paper also emphasises the characterisation methods used to examine the synthesised nanoparticles, including UltraViolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). To comprehend their possible applications and related concerns, it is also described how hazardous these copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) are.
