One-Step Synthesis Of Cuo Nanoparticles And Their Effects On H9c2 Cardiomyoblasts Cells

Copper(II) oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by the calcination of a mixture of copper acetate and orange peel powder at 600 degrees C for 4 h. The average crystallite size and structure of the prepared sample was predicted by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Optical property of the sample was measured by using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was employed to find metal-oxygen bond and surface groups of the sample. Both scanning and transmission electron microscopic analyses reveal that the CuO particles adopt leaf and irregular plate-like morphologies. The average length of CuO nanoleaves is 54 nm. The effect of morphology by different types of orange peel powders was also investigated. Energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDX) shows the characteristic peaks of Cu, C and O only. Furthermore, the prepared CuO NPs with or without orange peel powders were applied on H9c2 cardiomyoblasts cells to find their cytotoxicity.
