Abstract

COPPER NANOPARTICLES SYNTHESIZED FROM PHYTOCOMPOUNDS: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW

ABSTRACT

Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) have emerged as a versatile class of nanomaterials due to their unique physicochemical properties, high surface area, and broad-spectrum biological activities. Traditional chemical and physical methods for synthesizing CuNPs often involve toxic reagents or require high energy inputs, limiting their applicability, particularly in biomedical fields. Phytochemical-mediated synthesis offers a green, cost-effective, and sustainable alternative, using plant-derived compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, and proteins as natural reducing and stabilizing agents. This review comprehensively discusses the green synthesis of CuNPs, methods of characterization, biological activities, and potential applications in medicine, agriculture, and industry, while also addressing the challenges and future prospects of this emerging nanotechnology.

Keywords: Copper nanoparticles, phytochemicals, X-ray diffraction, UV-Visible spectroscopy, Green synthesis.
