Abstract
The use of plant extract is generating interest of researchers toward cost effective and eco-friendly green synthesis of nanoparticles. In the present work, Cuprous oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using tea powder extracts by a simple chemical process. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and ultraviolet -visible spectroscopy The powder X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the formation of single-phase cuprous oxide with a cubic structure. The average crystallite size calculated by using Scherrer formula was 45.5 nm.
Keywords: Cuprous Oxide, Fehling's Solution, Green Synthesis, tea extract
