Copper nanoparticles, due to their interesting properties, low cost preparation and many potential applications in catalysis, cooling fluid or conductive inks, have attracted a lot of interest in recent years. In this study, copper nanoparticles were synthesized through the palm leaves extract that act as reducing agent. In this synthesis route, the hydroxyl groups of the polyphenols in palm extract are capable to act as reducing agent for reduction reaction. The effect of temperature given starting with control parameters at room temperature proceeds to 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80°C with the time length of 2 hours and 10 milimol copper nitrate aqueous solution. Characterization had been conducted using the instrument of UV-vis spectrophotometer, FTIR and ESEM. The average size of all powder nanoparticles was found to 109, 86, 196, 133, 241, and 230nm accordingly from room temperature till 80°C. The correspondence analysis of the results yielded that the optimum temperature was at 40°C which is 86nm of average copper nanoparticle size. |
