Abstract

In this work, copper oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized via extractive Rosmarinus Officinalis leaves by simple and economic co-precipitation method at ambient conditions which it has used (CH3COO)2Cu+H2O individually as Cu sources. It was found that uniform copper oxide nanoparticles have been successfully produced at various temperature, namely 400, 600, and 800 0C. Powder X-ray Diffraction analysis confirmed copper oxide nanoparticles are in monoclinic phase, which the average crystalline size estimated by using Williamson-Hall plot from the higher peak of the Powder X-ray Diffraction was about 20-30 nm for all samples. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy images depict various morphologies can be successfully prepared via controlling calcination temperature and using appropriate green extractive. The study of FT-IR patterns of CuO nanoparticles confirm the formation of highly pure CuO nanoparticles. The prepared nanoparticles were subjected to the following characterizations such as, X-ray diffraction, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared studies.
