Abstract: Copper nanoparticles are the excellent resources for several applications, that include future nano-based circuits, wound healing materials and many more. Here, we have explored the synthesis of copper nanoparticles by electrolytic method of reduction using amino acids as capping agent. Unlike the other methods of nanoparticles, electrolytic synthesis is a non-toxic way of preparation and our amino acid capped copper nanoparticles were analyzed by SEM and XRD.
Keywords: Electrolytic Method, Copper Nanoparticles, Amino Acids, Capping Agent.
Scope of the Article: Automated Software Design and Synthesis
