“…However, after the treatment of samples that involved the light irradiation of the GCD, ROS was generated to interact with the membrane, making the cytoplasm flow out of the bacteria, and finally killed them. Also, other research considered that the presence of Cu ions in the GCD reacted with the oxygen to produce ROS through the Fenton reaction for further photocatalytic and bactericidal performance ( Touati, 2000 ; El Saeed et al, 2016 ; Shen et al, 2020 ). Generally, GCD acted as a kind of bifunctional material for applications in photocatalysis and bactericide.…”

In this study, a kind of graphene oxide-cuprous oxide (GO-Cu2O) nanocomposites was fabricated with different morphologies to serve as a photocatalytic material for the degradation of organic/inorganic dyes under visible light and the bactericidal effect against pathogenic bacteria. The GO-Cu2O was prepared with solid cube and hollow dodecahedra morphologies through in-situ synthesis, and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, Ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometry (UV/vis), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In comparison with cubic GO-Cu2O, the absorption and degradation efficiency of the GO-Cu2O dodecahedra (GCD) composite in Methyl orange (MO), Rhodamine B (RhB), and phenol was higher owning to the more active sites for the simultaneous dye and light absorption of hollow structure. The antibacterial effect of the GO-Cu2O dodecahedra was examined by the flat colony counting method with an excellent bactericidal effect against pathogenic bacteria. The possible mechanism for the preparation of GCD possessing the enhancement of the visible-light photocatalytic and antibacterial efficiencies were also investigated.

Synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles with tunable size and desirable properties is a foremost thrust area of the biomedical research domain. Though these features primarily rely on the synthetic approaches involved, with advancements in this area, it has been documented that the synthesis parameters and surface modifiers have a direct impact on the morphology and eventually on the biomedical properties. “Sensing” remains a major application of nanomaterials owing to their small size and unusual physicochemical properties, but in the past few years, a paradigm shift has occurred toward “theranostic” combination of the sensing and therapeutic features on a single platform. Copper oxide nanoparticles have been efficiently used for sensing and targeting in both in-vivo and in-vitro environments, although few key challenges are yet to be resolved before implementing at a commercial level. This review article attempts to summarize the recent advancements in the various synthetic approaches toward copper oxide nanoparticles and their biomedical applications. It highlights various synthetic methodologies including electrochemical, chemical, and biogenic methods, the role of surface modifiers in growth mechanisms, and their impact on biomedical applications. Finally, the current status, key challenges, and future perspective of copper oxide nanoparticles will be discussed that inevitably have an impact on their current and future scenarios.

A uniform, monodispersed superfine cuprous oxide (Cu2O) sphere with a mean diameter of 850 nm has been synthesized by solution reduction. The study reported the synthesis and thermal properties of Cu2O/PP composites for the first time. The surface modification of the superfine Cu2O sphere was carried out by using a silane coupling agent KH-570. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curve revealed that the Cu2O had been successfully modified by silane coupling agent KH570. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) shows that the modified Cu2O can be uniformly dispersed in the polypropylene (PP) matrix, because through surface modification, there are some active functional groups on its surface, such as the ester group, which improves its compatibility with the PP matrix. The thermal stability of Cu2O/PP composites was improved by adding a small amount of Cu2O (1 wt % of PP). Therefore, based on the potential bacteriostasis of cuprous oxide, the low cost of PP and the results of this study, it is predicted that Cu2O/PP composites can be used in infant preparation (such as milk bottles) with low cost and good thermal stability in the near future.
