Online published on 7 April, 2020. Abstract In this review, we examine ‘greener’ routes to nanoparticles of copper oxides, an emphasis on recent developments. natural products or extracted from natural products. such as different plant extracts, have been used as reductants and as capping agents during synthesis. A very easy, efficient and environment-friendly protocol was developed to synthesize green nanoparticles with an aqueous extract of the various plant. Nanoparticles and their compounds are known to exert a strong inhibitory and microbial activity on bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Green synthesis, characterization, and application of nanoparticles (NPs) are becoming an important challenge in nanotechnology. Green synthesis of nanoparticles is made in large quantities worldwide for a wide range of applications. This technique is very safe and environmentally friendly.
