Copper Nanoparticle(CuNP’s)Synthesis: A review of the various ways with Photocatalytic and Antibacterial Activity

Abstract

Over the last few decades, several studies have been undertaken to determine the benefits and drawbacks of various copper nanoparticle synthesis processes. Copper nanoparticles have garnered considerable attention because of their remarkable optical and electrical properties. CuNPs' optical, electrical and chemical characteristics are substantially depending on their synthesis procedures. Copper is less expensive than precious metals such as gold and silver, and it also possesses strong photocatalytic and antimicrobial competencies.In this review, synthesis of copper nanoparticles by various methods such as physical, chemical and biological is elaborately illustrated and in the meantime it's also explained how different reaction variables like temperature, pressure, reaction time, and reactor properties affect the size, shape, and surface area of produced copper nanoparticles. Moreover, photocatalysis and antibacterial mechanism for copper nanoparticles are also illustrated with proper illustration.

Synthesis and Applications of Nickel Nanoparticles (NiNPs)- Comprehensive Review

“…Nanomaterials have been investigated extensively due to their unique optical, magnetic, electrical properties, high mechanical strength etc. and excellent for use as catalysts due to their enhanced surface area to volume ratio [3][4][5][6][7] . Different kinds of nanomaterials such as inorganic, carbon, organic based, metallic and nonmetallic nanomaterial, core-shell nanomaterials, composites, and metal oxide nanoparticles has already been synthesized 8,9 .…”
