Popis: Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) were synthesized by a simple and green method using Punica granatum peels extract at room temperature. Biosynthesized copper oxide nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The particles are crystalline in nature with average size 40 nm. The morphology of the copper oxide nanoparticles could be controlled by tuning the amount of Punica granatum peels aqueous extract and copper ions. This study determined the mortality efficacy of the synthesized CuONPs against green peach Aphid.
