Green synthesis of copper nanoparticles by Datura stramonium

Nanotechnology is the application of material science at the molecular level. The use of plants for the synthesis of nanoparticles has been a major concern for reducing costs and adapting to the environment, so much research is being done on the green synthesis of nanoparticles by plants. In this study, the synthesis of green nanoparticles of copper was investigated using Datura stramonium ethanolic extract. Ethanol extracts from leaves were prepared by maceration and Soxhlet methods. The extracts were added to 1 mM copper sulfate solution and the production of copper nanoparticles was investigated using UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR, and TEM. The results of the spectrometry showed a strong peak at 654.9 nm, indicating the production of copper nanoparticles. Analyzes XRD, FTIR, also confirmed the formation of copper nanoparticles. TEM sedimentation of electron microscopy images shows that nanoparticles are mainly spherical with an average size of 42 nm. The results show that copper nanoparticles produced by Datura stramonium leave ethanolic extract to have good size, environmentally friendly and without the use of inappropriate chemicals and can use for various studies
