image of Copper Nanoparticles: Characterization, Synthesis, and Biological Activity – A Review

Abstract

Copper and copper-based nanoparticles, derived from the abundant and cost-effective copper metal, have garnered significant attention due to their unique properties and potential for various applications. Copper is a biogenic metal that is found in all kingdoms of life and has a variety of essential biological activities. Among the earliest metals that humanity has harvested and exploited, copper has played a crucial role in maintaining and advancing civilization since the beginning of time. The article provided sources that shed light on the synthesis, characteristics, and applications of copper and copper nanoparticles, highlighting their historical significance and diverse range of uses.
