Green synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles and its efficiency in degradation of rifampicin antibiotic

Abstract In recent ages, green nanotechnology has gained attraction in the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles due to their cost-effectiveness, simple preparation steps, and environmentally-friendly. In the present study, copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were prepared using Parthenium hysteropho...
