Abstract

One required method and modern technology for synthesizing copper oxide nanoparticles is green synthesis, which involves using lemon leaves, one of the most important medicinal plants. In our work, copper oxide nanoparticles are synthesised, optimised, and then characterised using UV spectroscopy, SEM, and XRD. The results showed that its peak wavelength is 272nm, the optimisation for PH 8 is 90 °C, the time is 15 min, and the concentration ratio of a metal ion is 5 ml. Characterization SEM is (69–77), and XRD analyses have 2 values of 28nm.One required method and modern technology for synthesizing copper oxide nanoparticles is green synthesis, which involves using lemon leaves, one of the most important medicinal plants.
