摘要
Copper oxide nanoflowers(CuO-NFs)have been synthesized through a novel green route using Tulsi leaves-extracted eugenol(4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol)as reducing agent.Characterizations results reveal the growth of crystalline singlephase CuO-NFs with monoclinic structure.The prepared CuO-NFs can effectively degrade methylene blue with 90%efficiency.They also show strong barrier against E.coli(27±2 mm)at the concentration of 100μg mL−1,while at the concentration of 25μg mL−1 weak barrier has been found against all examined bacterial organisms.The results provide important evidence that CuO-NFs have sustainable performance in methylene blue degradation as well as bacterial organisms.
Copper oxide nanoflowers（Cu O-NFs） have been synthesized through a novel green route using Tulsi leaves-extracted eugenol（4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol） as reducing agent. Characterizations results reveal the growth of crystalline singlephase CuO-NFs with monoclinic structure. The prepared Cu O-NFs can e ectively degrade methylene blue with 90% efficiency. They also show strong barrieragainst E. coli（27 ± 2 mm） at the concentration of 100 μg m L-1, while at the concentration of 25 μg m L-1 weak barrier has been found against all examined bacterial organisms. The results provide important evidence that Cu O-NFs have sustainable performance in methylene blue degradation as well as bacterial organisms.
