Abstract

An easy, green and economically viable approach for synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NP’s) has been used. CuO NP’s were synthesized using neem extract as reducing agent and were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with SAED pattern, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Its effect in catalytic degradation of Reactive red 120 dyes was determined in presence and absence of NaBH₄ using sunlight as main source. The result showed excellent catalytic activity of nanoparticles in the presence of NaBH_4.
