Description
Summary:Copper nanoparticles has received an immense interest from the scientific community due to its remarkable properties thusly offer various uses in multitude range of applications. Many works have been reported on the nanoparticles production using numerous approaches. Despite various methods can be used for copper nanoparticles preparation, green synthesis outweighs other techniques which is simple, environmentally friendly yet adaptable approach. While some techniques suffer from hazardous environments, complicated procedures and equipment, and time-consuming, the usage of plant extracts is an alternative avenue to produce copper nanoparticles adapting the green synthesis approach. The synthesis mechanism and insight into various plant extracts will be briefly discussed. Albeit there are myriad range of copper nanoparticles applications, this review further focused on the potential of copper nanoparticles in agricultural and environmental application.
