摘要: Abstract Here we report the biogenic synthesis of cupric oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) which were studied for their photocatalytic and antimicrobial activities. The fruit leaf extracts Tamarindus indica L. used as reducing capping agents. influence extract sources on growth properties nanostructures was studied. Quantum dots size 5−10 nm obtained using while material grown consisted larger spherical particles possessing non uniform dimensions (50−100 nm). XRD studies show that synthesized is single phase CuO. activity investigated against Rhodamine B (RhB) in presence UV–vis light illumination. nano-crystallites degraded 65 % RhB 2 h illumination whereas CuO quantum from 77 dye same irradiation duration. Post structural demonstrate exhibit excellent photostability. In vitro tested bacterial strains E. coli, S. typhi acidophilus, greater than control.
