Reducing Power of Curcuma longa Extract and Its Influence on the Synthesis of Copper Nanoparticles

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Nowadays, green synthesis has gained ground over chemical or physical methods to synthesize nanoparticles, not only because of its advantages, such as lower costs and environmental friendliness, but also because of the possibility to prevent oxidation and provide stability all in the same process. However, only generalities are known about plant extracts as reducing agents. Therefore, more studies to understand reducing power during green synthesis are needed. Thus, this study evaluated different concentrations of copper as a precursor material for the synthesis of nanoparticles and its relationship with the reducing power present in Curcuma longa extract, used during this synthesis. Results showed that the reducing power of Curcuma longa extract is being used during the synthesis of copper nanoparticles and that the concentrations of precursor material (copper) affected the visual appearance of final solutions which could impact in other nanoparticles characteristics.
