Abstract

In this current study, Copper nanoparticles were synthesized through green route using black tea as a reducing agent. The green synthesized copper nanoparticles were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy. And the synthesized nanoparticles was subjected to test its efficiency in biomedical applications such as antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. The UV results confirms the synthesis of copper nanoparticles by representing maximum absorption peak around 350-500nm. The antibacterial activity results showed effective potential of black tea mediated copper nanoparticles.
