X ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and evaluation of antioxidant activity of copper oxide nanoparticles synthesized from leaf extract of Cissus vitiginea

Nanoparticles have a diameter of up to 100 nm and a higher surface-to-volume ratio, enabling more active surface atoms to contribute to implementations and improve material properties. In nanoparticle preparation, the ability to control particle size, shape, and morphology is important. The most important tool for studying nanomaterials is XRD, it is a vital characterization tool in solid-state chemistry and materials science. For any compound, XRD is a simple method for determining the unit cell's size and shape. This study explains how copper oxide nanoparticles are formed in Cissus vitiginea leaves. The antioxidant function and XRD study of the synthesized CuONPs were also investigated. According to the XRD results, the copper oxide nanoparticles formed by reducing Cu2 + ions by Cissus vitiginea leaf extract are crystalline in nature. CuONPs have an average crystalline size of ~32.32 nm, according to the Debye-Scherrer formula. CuONPs have higher antioxidant activity than plant extract and are closest to ascorbic acid in terms of standard.
