Green synthesis of cubic CuO nanoparticles for biomedical applications and the photodegradation of methylene blue: RSM-BBD optimization of the reaction parameters and stability studies
Abstract
. Total organic carbon analysis demonstrated 81% mineralization within 4 hours, while regeneration experiments confirmed significant reusability with only a 7% activity decrease after five cycles. Radical scavenging investigations supported the postulated degradation mechanism. In addition to photocatalytic activity, the CMFE@CuO NPs demonstrated considerable biological performance, demonstrating strong antibacterial efficacy and high antioxidant activity, comparable to gallic acid. Overall, the findings indicate CMFE@CuO NPs as very effective, reusable, and versatile nanocatalysts for wastewater treatment and environmental remediation.
