Abstract:

The present study describes synthesis of highly active copper nanoparticles by a green and economically viable approach. The highly stable colloidal dispersions of copper nanoparticles ( Cu NPs) were prepared via modified sodium borohydride reduction route with controlled morphology in a aqueous phase using anionic surfactant, Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), as directing agent and vitamin-C as a Quenching agent. The characterization studies like optimization of various parameters for preparation of nanoscale copper NPs, surface binding interactions, size and morphology of the fabricated Cu NPs were carried out using UV-Visible Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Analysis and Tunneling Electron Microscopy (TEM). The results of study revealed that CuNPs has ultra fast catalytic activity for the degradation of some frequently used organic dyes such as methylene blue (MB) and rose bengal (RB).
